The recipe for these luscious brownies comes from Linda Larson , but I have seen similar brownies on sale in a Christmas catalog and just wished I had the recipe. The base is a rich and moist brownie and the topping is similar to pecan pie, sweet and nutty. If you can resist these gems you have better will-power than I! Ingredients:
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup butter |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 cups chopped pecans |
2 cups chopped walnuts |
2/3 cup butter |
1/2 cup cocoa powder |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
4 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 1/4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan and set aside.
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter. Cook and stir over low heat until butter is melted and mixture is combined. Remove from heat and stir in 1 egg, 2 tablespoons flour and 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix well. Stir in all of the nuts and set aside.
3. In another heavy saucepan, combine 2/3 cup butter with cocoa. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until butter melts. Add sugar and 1 cup brown sugar and beat well. Then add 4 eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla and beat to combine. Stir in 1-1/4 cups flour and baking powder.
4. Pour chocolate mixture into prepared pan. Spoon the nut topping over chocolate mixture in an even layer. Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until just barely set. Do not overbake or the topping will get too hard. Cool on a wire rack, then cut into bars.
