• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
6. Remove the brownies from the oven and drizzle the caramel sauce over the top while still warm. Sprinkle the pecans and chocolate chips.
7. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
