Brownie;
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9'x9' baking tin with baking paper.
Melt the butter and dark chocolate together.
Mix the eggs, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract together until the mixture becomes a light golden colour.
Mix in the chocolate mixture.
Stir in the flour and cocoa, chopped pecans and chocolate chips until just combined.
Spread in half the brownie mixture into an even layer.
Top with ⅔ of the caramel and then dollop over the remaining brownie batter.
Place in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes. The top and sides will be set and the middle will have crumbs attached to a skewer inserted but should not be wet.
Once cooled for about 15 minutes. Top with remaining pecans for decorating and drizzle over the leftover caramel and serve!
