Salted Caramel Pecan Brownies

I've been dreaming up this recipe for awhile now, and finally, on this lazy Saturday afternoon, I made them :) They have a thousand million calories in every square, but with the salt... they are totally worth it.
Here's what to do: 


One box of brownie mix (bake as per box instructions)

While the brownies are baking, toss pecans with some melted butter, salt them and toast for 15min...

 Next, Start on the caramel sauce ... Yummmm!!!

Melt 1 cup of butter on low heat...

Then add 3/4 cups dark brown sugar


Stir together until butter & sugar have mixed well and is smooth

Next, add 1 Cup corn syrup and 1 can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tsp salt - (be generous!)

Now, turn up the heat and stir constantly, until thickened, about 10 min

Your brownies should be coming out of the oven soon, and when they do, let them col for 5 min and then pour the caramel on top...
Let stand for 10 min so that it sets just a bit, then sprinkle with salt...
Then all your salted, buttery pecans on top.
Ahhhh YUM!!! Throw them in the fridge for 2 hours and then cut and enjoy with a coffee and some ice-cream... I sincerely apologize for the amount of calories in one square, but, yeah - they're delicious!! So just enjoy!!
