6 ounces semisweet chocolate coarsely chopped
4 oz. unsalted butter
½ cup white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
15 caramels unwrapped and chopped into smaller pieces (or 2/3 cup prepared caramel sauce)
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chunks divided
2/3 cup pecans coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Using a small saucepan, add the chocolate and butter. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Using a medium bowl, whisk together the white sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla until well combined. Add the melted chocolate and butter; stir until well combined.
Add the flour and salt; stir until just combined. (Tip: Take care not to overmix the batter.)
Spread batter evenly into an 8x8 baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped caramel bits with the chocolate chunks and pecans. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the partially-baked brownies.
Bake for 10-12 more minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie base comes out clean.
Use an offset spatula to swirl together the melted caramel and chocolate on top of the brownies.
Let brownies cool for 1 hour at room temperature before slicing.
