Caramel Pecan Brownies

We all love brownies, right? Oh, what variations you can do with brownies: frosted, powdered sugar, nuts, cream cheese. 

Well, I have another variation to share with you - Caramel Pecan Brownies. These brownies go together quickly since you start with a box of brownie mix.

Bake half of the prepared brownie mix; add some melted caramel bites and pecans for a gooey and yummy middle; then add the remaining brownie mix on top; sprinkle with nuts and finish baking.

I used Kraft Caramel Bites from Walmart. Love these little bits since they are already unwrapped.

No need to remove wrappers, making it fast and easy to melt.

They were a big hit at my husband's office and hopefully they will be a hit with you.
