Gooey Caramel Brownies

Serves 30 as Dessert.

I originally got this out of one of those little pamphlet cookbooks, but I've tweaked it since then.

• 8 oz sweet baking chocolate
  
• 1/2 c butter
  
• 1-1/2 c all purpose flour
  
• 1 c sugar
  
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 package (14 oz.) vanilla caramels
  
• 1/4 c cream
  
• 1 pkg (6 oz.) chocolate chips (1 cup)
  
• 1 c coarsely chopped pecans
  

Heat oven to 350. Put foil into a 13x9x2 inch pan and grease the foil. Heat chocolate and butter in pan over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Off the heat, stir in dry ingredients, vanilla and eggs. Spread in pan. Bake 15 minutes.

While the brownie is cooking, heat caramels and cream over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Spread caramel mixture over brownies. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts.

Bake 10 to 15 minutes of just until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut when cool.
