Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together all ingredients and pour into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For an enhanced caramel flavor, consider adding a few tablespoons of caramel sauce into the batter before baking. You can substitute the pecans with walnuts or omit nuts altogether for a nut-free version. If you don't have Bisquick, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, and salt can work as well. Ensure not to overbake for a fudgy texture.
Serving Suggestions
These caramel brownies are delightful on their own but can also be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat. They also make a great addition to dessert platters alongside Aunt Eva'S Old Fashion Peach Shortcake or Ms. Linda'S Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place individual brownies in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy a warm, gooey treat. Consider drizzling with extra caramel sauce before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of Bisquick?
Yes, you can substitute Bisquick with a homemade blend of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This will help you achieve a similar texture, allowing for flexibility in your pantry choices when making these delicious brownies.
What can I do if my brownies are too dry?
If your brownies turn out dry, it may be due to overbaking. Next time, check them a few minutes earlier. To remedy dry brownies, try adding a drizzle of caramel sauce on top or serve them warm with ice cream to add moisture and richness.
How do I know when my brownies are done baking?
To check if your brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. For fudgier brownies, you want a little more moisture than for cake-like brownies, so keep an eye on the time.
