Praline Pecan Brownies

I'm still forever busy. We found a house last weekend after almost 35 hours of driving (thanks for coming Darci!)so I'm able to breathe a minute now that we've got that big task done. Our move date has gone back a bit so that means that I'm displaced from my own kitchen for a while longer...I can't tell you guys how excited I am to get to baking in my own kitchen!

So-my cheater recipe.

Paula Deen)

1 package chewy brownie mix (recommended: Duncan Hines)
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

Oven to 350.

Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions. Pour batter into a greased 9 by 13-inch pan. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the pecans and sugar and cook, over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves. Drizzle the caramel mixture over brownie batter and bake until a toothpick can be inserted and withdrawn cleanly, 25 to 30 minutes.
