This recipe was originally published on GrillingGrandma.com


Equipment:

Ingredients:
  • 1 ( 16 oz) pkg Chocolate Brownie Mix, oil, egg, water as directed on package 
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup granulated sugar  
  • 2 tbsp agave syrup 
  • 2 tbsp water 
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or cream 
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 
  • 1 teaspoon flaky salted 
  • Vanilla ice cream 

Directions: 
  1. Place about 2 cups of Western BBQ Cherry Smoking Chips in a smoker box or homemade foil packet pierced with holes. Place the smoker box on the hottest part of a gas grill until smoking, about 10-15 minutes. 
  2. Adjust gas grill for 350°F indirect heat. Place pecans in a cast iron skillet, and place over indirect heat. Keep the smoker box above a hot burner. Smoke pecans for 7-10 minutes, or until just beginning to toast and change color.
  3. In a medium bowl, lightly whisk brownie ingredients as directed on package. Pour batter into a 10-inch cast iron skillet. 
  4. Invert a small rimmed pan or grill pan over the indirect heat. Place the skillet with the batter on the inverted rimmed baking sheet to avoid over baking.  
  5. Meanwhile, combine granulated sugar, agave syrup, and water in a microwave-safe bowl, and whisk. Cook sugar in the microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. The sugar solution will melt into an light amber syrup when ready to be removed from the microwave. The caramel solution will darken and continue to cook after being removed from the microwave. If caramel is still light gold after 4 minutes, continue to cook at 20 second increments. 
  6. Allow caramel syrup to cool 5 minutes. Add butter and stir. Slowly pour in the cream and vanilla extract. Place back on the indirect heat. Once the sauce begins to bubble and thicken, remove from heat, about 5 minutes. 
  7. After the brownie has baked in the grill for the time directed on the package, remove from heat. Pour caramel sauce over brownie. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
