Dancing Deer: Brownies

Moist and chewy, these Caramel Pecan Brownies hit the spot. Each fudge-like brownie is laden with pecans and caramel atop a crunchy, nutty crust surrounding a moist, deliciously rich center. Eight brownies are packaged in each gift box. Made without preservatives, brownies stay fresh up to 14 days and can be frozen to enjoy at a later time—not that there will be any left.
