EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To toast pecans, preheat oven to 350° F. Spread pecans in a single layer in a baking pan. Bake about 5 to 7 minutes or until golden and toasted.

Cut into bars about 45 minutes after spreading frosting over the brownies. This will allow you to cut the brownies while the frosting is still just slightly warm and will minimize any cracks in the frosting.

They were good but I thought the frosting was to grainy. Next time I will try less brown sugar.

I made these brownies 3 weeks in a row, once for us to try, once for a family reunion and also for a church picnic. My husband said they were the best brownies he had ever eaten. Received many compliments and requests for the recipe. Making them again tomorrow for a party.
