How To Make delightfully sinful brownies

  • Step 1
    Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a medium sized microwave safe bowl, add 1 cup butter and 1/3 cup cocoa. I start with 1 minute and check to see if butter is melted. Continue in 30 second intervals, until it is. Mix with a whisk and set aside to cool.
  • Step 2
    In another bowl, beat sugar, eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, blend flour and salt.
  • Step 3
    Once cocoa mixture is cool enough, add the flour mixture to it, and whisk until thoroughly blended. Add this mixture to the sugar mixture. Stir, well until all is incorporated.
  • Step 4
    Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until pick comes out clean.
  • Step 5
    While hot, spread peanut butter evenly over the top as it melts. Cool completely.
  • Step 6
    When cake is cool, make topping. In a large saucepan, add butter, milk, marshmallows, and cocoa. Stir until butter and marshmallows are melted and everything is thoroughly blended. Add the salt and vanilla.
  • Step 7
    Beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over the cooled cake and peanut butter.
  • Step 8
    Drizzle with caramel and sprinkle with pecans. Enjoy!
