Dulce de Leche Brownies with Pecans
Made a batch of fudgy brownies and added dulce de leche with pecans… and yeah, this was the one.
That deep chocolate base with the creamy caramel swirled through and toasted pecans on top? It’s rich, a little nutty, and just the right amount of sweet.
It’s giving soft center, slightly crisp edges, and layers of flavor in every bite.
Ingredients:
* 1 box of RoeDelectables Fudge Brownie Mix (follow box instructions)
* ¾ cup dulce de leche
* ¾ cup pecans, pecan halves
1. Preheat to 350°F and line an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with parchment paper.
2. Pour batter into pan. Spoon dulce de leche over the top and gently swirl. Sprinkle pecans evenly.
3. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until edges are set and center is slightly soft.
4. Let brownies cool completely for clean cuts (or don’t… if you like them warm and gooey).
How I enjoyed it:
Slightly warm so the dulce de leche is still soft 🤎
Perfect balance with the pecans adding that crunch.

If you're a fan of rich chocolate desserts with a twist, these dulce de leche brownies with pecans might just become your new favorite. The combination of fudgy brownies and creamy dulce de leche creates a luscious texture that melts in your mouth. Adding pecans on top not only provides a pleasing crunch but also enhances the flavor with their toasty nuttiness. When making these brownies, it's important to swirl the dulce de leche gently into the batter to create beautiful marbled layers that cook evenly without sinking. Baking to the right consistency is key: the edges should be set and slightly crisp while the center remains soft and gooey, delivering the ultimate brownie experience. Letting the brownies cool completely will give you clean, neat squares, but enjoying them warm straight from the oven is equally delightful, as the dulce de leche will stay soft and creamy. I recommend using high-quality dulce de leche and roasting your pecans slightly if they are raw, to fully bring out their flavor. This recipe is perfect for sharing at gatherings or for a cozy homemade dessert night. You can also customize it by adding a pinch of sea salt on top to balance the sweetness, or pair the brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. Whether served as a snack or dessert, these dulce de leche brownies with pecans offer a decadent blend of flavors and textures that are sure to impress.
