Ingredients

  • 1 pan baked brownies I used 8x11
  • candy thermometer
  • ½ can sweetened condensed milk use 7 oz.
  • 1 c sugar
  • ½ c butter
  • ¼ Tablespoon salt
  • ¾ c white karo syrup
  • 1 c chopped pecans
  • 2 c broken pretzels

Instructions

  • Make brownies, being sure to line pan with either foil or parchment paper, and not overbake.
  • Make caramel. Combine the 7 oz. sweetened condensed milk, sugar, butter, salt, and karo syrup in heavy-bottomed pan. Stir constantly, being sure to not scrape the sides of the pot.
  • Insert candy thermometer into pot after it has begun to boil, darken in color, and thicken. Stir around the thermometer. Continue to simmer and stir until it has reached 240 degrees. Immediately remove from heat and pour into glass measuring cup. Let cool a bit.
  • Sprinkle pretzels and pecans over brownies. Drizzle enough caramel over brownies so that they are basically covered. Pour the remaining caramel in a buttered pan to cut into caramels or save for a topping.
  • Refrigerate brownies until chill. Remove from pan by foil/parchment paper and place on cutting board. Cut with a hot knife, cleaning between cuts.
