Salted Caramel Double Chocolate Pecan Brownies

Happy Valentines day!

We weren’t planning a fancy dinner so I didn’t want to make my usual V-day desserts which are usually chocolate soufflé or chocolate cheesecake, I wanted something more casual but didn’t want to lose that WOW factor so when I came across a recipe for these decadent brownies I knew that I could up the ante and make them even more special and boy did it work!! P.S I’m definitely in love….( in no particular order) with The Chef, the teener wiener AND these brownies!
