Ingredients
  • 1 Package (11.5 or 12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips or chunks (divided use)
  • 1.5 cups chopped pecans (divided use)
  • 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
  • 0.5 cup Butter
  • 14 caramels, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 1.5 cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan with oil and line with parchment paper if desired for easier removal.
  2. 2
    In a small saucepan, combine butter, caramels, and milk. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until caramels are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. 3
    Remove caramel mixture from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. 4
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, vanilla, and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. 5
    Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt to the egg mixture. Stir until just blended and no dry streaks remain.
  6. 6
    Fold in 1.5 cups of chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped pecans into the batter.
  7. 7
    Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. 8
    Drizzle the warm caramel mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  9. 9
    Spoon the remaining batter over the caramel layer, spreading it gently to cover. Avoid mixing the layers completely to create a marbled effect.
  10. 10
    Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of chocolate chips and 0.5 cup of pecans over the top.
  11. 11
    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  12. 12
    Allow the pie to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
