Have you eve taken your two favorite recipes and combined them together? Well, I took my two popular recipes on this blog; pecan pie and dark chocolate brownies and combine them together. OMG!! 

I know, I know it’s not nice to boast and use the word ultimate to your own recipe. But, I can’t help calling this the ultimate pecan pie brownies. Well, you know my love for brownies is huge because I shared so many brownie recipes already but you also know that I love pecans from the many pecan based recipes on this blog.  So, this was like the best of both worlds. 

I must warn you though, if you are on a diet do not make them for anyone else. Oh, I did that a few weeks ago and I almost wanted to kill myself because I could not eat any and everyone around me was raving about them. .. they are so good. 

About this recipe

Honestly, does not get easier than this. The brownie recipe is simpler than making a cake. You don’t even need a mixer, a bowl and whisk is plenty. A rich decadent brownie batter is partially baked while you prepare the pecan filling. Then the brownie batter is topped with the pecan pie filling and baked until set. 

The brownie itself is rich, with a deep color and delicious. The pecan pie filling sweet and moist that just melts in your mouth with a crunch from the pecans. Using dark chocolate with the sweet pecans works best with this recipe as the bitterness from the dark chocolate helps offset some of the sweetness from the pecan pie topping.
