Rich, decadent, dense chocolate taste is what this is. Pecan pie brownies are by far my most favorite brownies! Its that taste of than sweet pecan topping combined with the dense chocolate that once you bite into, it brings on that “feel-good” feeling which we all need!

How to…..
Preheat the oven to 350 F/176 C. Line the baking pan with parchment paper with the sides hanging over (so you can pull out the brownies easily)
In a bowl mix the chocolate and 2 tablespoons cocoa.
Melt the butter and add to the chocolate mixture while its hot. Mix it with the spatula until well combined and chocolate has melted. Set aside.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a standing mixer, add the sugars, vanilla extract and eggs. Beat well until creamy. Add in the chocolate mixture and mix on medium low until well combined.
Add the flour and 1/4 cup cocoa powder and beat until just combined.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 mins.
While the brownies are baking, make the pecan topping.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat all the ingredients except the pecans. Stop beating when they’re well combined. Using a spatula, fold in the pecans.
Remove the brownies from the oven. Immediately pour the pecan topping over the brownies while they’re still hot.
Return to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until it’s set.
Let them cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
