I am going to add molasses to my wort for a nut brown ale recipe. I was thinking like 10-15 minutes left in the boil... is that right??? Or should I just add it with the malt extract.

You should add it in with your extract (or at least most of it), at the last 10-15 minutes of your boil.
You don't want the molasses to get overcarmalized, and doing late additions with your extract will result in a greater hop utilization and less carmelization of your malt. You want color to come from steeping grains, not overdone extract.

I'm steeping the grains right now so it would really help to get this clarified quickly. Thanks.

That article describes several methods of using the extract.
