Brownies with Dulce de Leche and Toasted Pecans



These brownies are freaking awesome. Best brownies I've ever made or eaten. They are loaded with globs of caramel and are rich and chocolatey. I seriously love them. Everyone who has tried them says they love em too. I don't think I'll ever look for another brownie recipe. I found this recipe on David Lebovitz's site. I found his website while looking for a good German Chocolate cake recipe once. He's received tons of good reviews, so I trust his recipes to be awesome. 


Don't know what kind of dessert to make for gathering? Make these. Searching for the perfect brownie recipe? Here it is.


Makes 12 brownies.
Bake time: 35-45 minutes

Dulce de Leche


Mmmm... This stuff is good. Dulce de Leche is a thick, milk-based caramel sauce. It's really easy to make at home. All you need is a can of sweetened condensed milk. Pre-made dulce de leche can be found on the hispanic isle at most grocery stores. It is labeled as Cajeta. 

I have used the pre-made kind before, but I think it's more fun to make your own. You can add it to all sorts of baked items. I'm going to use mine in some brownies.

Cook time: 3-4 hours

Ingredients: 
  • 1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
