Butter Pecan Frosted Fudge Brownies.

unsalted butter

milk or dark chocolate, chopped

sugar

vanilla extract

eggs

cocoa powder

all-purpose flour

salt

milk chocolate

heavy cream

brown sugar

pecans

bourbon (optional)

cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Add the butter and chocolate to a medium microwave safe mixing bowl. Microwave on 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. To the melted chocolate whisk in the sugar, vanilla and eggs and until smooth. Stir in the cocoa powder, flour and salt until just combined, try not to over mix the batter. It will be thick. Stir in chopped chocolate. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it in an even layer. Transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the brownies are set on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Meanwhile, make the frosting. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium sauce pan, melt together 4 tablespoons butter, the cream, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook for one minute or until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and add to the bowl of a stand mixer. Place the bowl in the freezer (or fridge for longer) for 15-20 minutes or until cool to touch.

On a parchment lined baking sheet, combine the pecans, bourbon - if using, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and cinnamon and toss to coat. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until toasted. Remove, let cool 10 minutes, then roughly chop the pecans.

Grab the cooled butter mixture from the freezer and add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter, remaining 2 teaspoons vanilla and powdered sugar to the bowl and beat together until well combined. Fold in half of the chopped pecans. Spread the frosting onto the cooled brownies. Top with remaining pecans, using as many as desired. Slice and serve or store in and airtight container.

Do you use brownie mix or make brownies from scratch?

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease&nbsp;a 9"-x-13" baking pan with cooking spray and line pan with&nbsp;parchment paper. Grease parchment&nbsp;with cooking spray. Prepare brownie batter according to box instructions and pour into pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean,&nbsp;20 to 25&nbsp;minutes. Keep oven on.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk melted butter,&nbsp;brown sugar,&nbsp;maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Whisk in&nbsp;eggs until combined. Stir in&nbsp;pecans until coated.

Top baked brownies&nbsp;with pecan topping, spreading evenly. Return to oven and bake until pecan mixture is set,&nbsp;20 minutes more.&nbsp;(If you tilt the pan, no liquid should run or be visible.)

Let brownies cool completely before&nbsp;slicing into squares and serving.

I really loved this but felt it needed more chocolate could I add chocolate chips to the pecan filling and what type? Will definitely be making it again!

I totally agree that the recipe needs updated with correct cooking time.  I did 25 & 25, but wish I did less for the second set.  Also, definitely use 1 box for 8x8 or 2 boxes for 9x13. Lastly, we thought there were way too many pecans (& we love pecans).  It lacked the gelatinous part of pecan pie.  Unless it’s because I used a combination of chopped & whole pecans.  Next time I’m going to see how 2 cups Pecans turns out. Overall, everyone thought this recipe was worth another try with tweaks.

I used a fudge brownie mix  for a 13x9 pan. The cook time was far too long. The brownies are dry and cakie 😐

Sister made these and let me say it's really good! Gives a different taste to brownies
