Delightfully Sinful Brownies image

An absolute favorite of my son...peanut butter and chocolate, what's not to love?...topped off with pecans and caramel...they are sinful... I usually make these for the 4th...and will probably make them again, as these won't last long... Enjoy!

BROWNIES
2 c sugar
1 c butter
1/3 c cocoa powder
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 c peanut butter
TOPPING
1/2 c butter
1/4 c cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c milk
10 large marshmallows
1 tsp vanilla
1 lb ( 16 ounces) confectioners' sugar
caramel topping
pecans chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, add 1 cup butter and 1/3 cup cocoa. I start with 1 minute and check to see if butter is melted. Continue in 30 second intervals, until it is. Mix with a whisk and set aside to cool.
  • 2. In another bowl, beat sugar, eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, blend flour and salt.
  • 3. Once cocoa mixture is cool enough, add the flour mixture to it, and whisk until thoroughly blended. Add this mixture to the sugar mixture. Stir, well until all is incorporated.
  • 4. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until pick comes out clean.
  • 5. While hot, spread peanut butter evenly over the top as it melts. Cool completely.
  • 6. When cake is cool, make topping. In a large saucepan, add butter, milk, marshmallows, and cocoa. Stir until butter and marshmallows are melted and everything is thoroughly blended. Add the salt and vanilla.
  • 7. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over the cooled cake and peanut butter.
  • 8. Drizzle with caramel and sprinkle with pecans. Enjoy!
