Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
Step 2
Melt butter and chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
Step 3
Whisk sugar and eggs together in a separate bowl until pale, about 2 minutes. Fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
Step 4
Sift flour and a pinch of salt over the batter. Fold until just combined—don't overmix.
Step 5
Pour half the batter into the pan. Drizzle half the caramel sauce over, then swirl with a fork. Add remaining batter.
Step 6
Drizzle remaining caramel on top, swirl gently, and scatter pecans over the surface.
Step 7
Bake 14-16 minutes until edges pull slightly from the sides but center still jiggles when you shake the pan.
Step 8
Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then use parchment overhang to lift onto a wire rack. Cut into 12 squares while warm.
