Dry Ingredients – Next, stir in the remaining dry ingredients until everything has full blended together.
First Layer – Pour half of the brownie batter into the baking pan and bake it for 20 minutes and then remove it from the oven.
Caramel Center – Drizzle the caramel sauce and sprinkle half of the nuts and chocolate chips over the brownies.
Top Layer – Pour the remaining half of the brownie batter over the top and spread it out evenly. Then sprinkle the remaining nuts and chocolate chips over the top.
