"This is a recipe from the Top of the Riverfront in St. Louis. The recipe was featured on Rachel Ray's Tasty Travels. Plan ahead, as brownies need to cool several hours or overnight (cook time accounts for this)."

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out evenly, and bake in the center of the oven until the brownies have puffed slightly around the edges and are shiny on the surface, about 30 minutes. They will still be very moist in the center.

  • Cut phyllo sheets into 4 (6 inch) squares.
  • Brush one side of the 4 squares with caramel sauce and sprinkle with half of the chopped pecans.
  • Cut the brownies into 3-inch squares and place one on each fillo square. (you will have leftover brownies).
  • Fold phyllo sheets around the brownie like an envelope, brush them with clarified butter, and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
  • carefully place on plate with a scoop of ice cream. Cover in carmel sauce, chocolate sauce, and pecans.

  1. Extremely messy. Caramel and brownie flowed through the phyllo and spread out all over the pan. Brownies should be cooked through and not just partially baked. Save caramel sauce for topping instead of using inside phyllo.
