Pecan Pie Brownies
Move over pumpkin pie, there’s a new Thanksgiving dessert in town!
No offense to pumpkin pie and all the other delicious Thanksgiving desserts of course!
You might have noticed by now that we are pretty serious about our chocolate around here. So the thought of combining pecan pie with brownies is just genius!
This is one of the best baked goods that has come out of my kitchen. Seriously. Like no joke possibly the best this I have ever made!
The brownies themselves are out of this world amazing. Gooey, moist and so chocolatey. The batter alone is scary delicious! I think we could have just devoured the brownie batter and called it a day. But I was on a mission. I put a stop to the multiple fingers inching their way into my mixing bowl (and when I say multiple I mean like 6 different hands, the batter was popular) and carried on towards the finished product.
As for the topping. I mean could there be a better combination than pecans, bourbon, and chocolate? The answer? No. Well at least not around here. Even the unbaked filling is soo good! Treat yourself to a spoonful of the stuff. You have to, like you really have to.
The holidays are fast approaching and these are perfect for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Festive and delicious! If you want to get some major brownie points wrap these up as a gift or bring them to Thanksgiving dinner. Trust me people will be begging you for the recipe.

Never heard of Karo syrup in South Africa, what is it?
Karo syrup is basically just corn syrup. It is used in a lo of baking. You could also use brown rice syrup.
