Double Fudge Pecan Brownies


These brownies are decadent and easy.   I refrigerate mine afterwards because they are so fudgy and chewy that they just melt in your mouth.  I like them cold out of the fridge.  They have a light powder sugar icing that isn't too heavy.  Try these, you'll make them over and over again.

Double Fudge Pecan Brownies

1 box your favorite brownie mix (get the fudge or chewy type)
    Bake to directions on the box.  - Usually calls for 1 or 2 eggs, oil and water
4 Hershey's chocolate bars (no almonds) (full size) or 8 of the snack size - broken into chunks
1/4 cup pecan pieces

Icing
2 cups powdered sugar
3 or 4 Tbsp. water (use 1 at a time so it isn't too thin)
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix.  Make sure it is slightly thin and not too thick.  You want to be able to drizzle it over the top.

Mix the brownies according to box directions.  (I use the Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie Mix - Ultimate Fudge).   Add in 3/4 of the pecans, reserving some for the top of the brownies.  Spray a 9x9" pan with cooking spray.   Spoon 1/2 of the brownie mixture into the pan.  Top with broken pieces of Hershey's Chocolate bars.  Top with the remaining half of the brownie mix.  Bake according to package directions. 

When these come out they will be very, chewy.  Let sit for about 20 minutes and top with Icing.  Icing should be thin so you can just drizzle it over the top and spread it around.  Sprinkle remaining pecan pieces on top of icing.   I refrigerate mine immediately so the icing sets up and the brownies become more solid.  But, I usually have to steal one while they are warm!

My husband said these are the best brownies he has ever had!
