Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup unsalted butter
3 ounces dark chocolate (I used 60%)
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon espresso powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 heaping cup raw pecans
½ cup heavy cream
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper then set aside.
  • In a double broiler, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat then set aside to cool slightly.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into a large bowl. Add in both types of sugar and mix well. Next add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Add in the flour, espresso powder and salt. Continue to stir just until the flour is incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Bake for about 27 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before you proceed.
  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Place the pecans in an even layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 5 minutes, until fragrant. Once cool, roughly chop and then set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the cream, brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil (stir just to get everything combined). Once the mixture is boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and then let boil for 6 minutes without stirring.
  • Remove from the heat and mix in the vanilla and pecans. Pour the mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
  • Let the brownies sit for at least 30 minutes. Cut the brownies into small squares to serve.

PRALINE PECAN BROWNIES WITH RAISINS



Praline Pecan Brownies with Raisins image

My dad had several wives other than my mother that were all great cooks. Barbara made these brownies for us when we went to visit them in Rhode Island one summer. My son loved the raisins in them. I would have never thought to add raisins to a brownie mix. I don't often use a pre-packaged mix, but the only way these taste...

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pkg duncan hines chewy brownie mix
1 c raisins, golden or regular, lightly floured
4 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1 c pecans, chopped
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions adding lightly floured raisins at the end of mixing. (flouring keeps them from sinking) Pour batter into a greased 9x13-inch pan.
  • 2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the pecans and sugar and cook, over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves. Drizzle the caramel mixture over brownie batter and bake until a toothpick can be inserted and withdrawn cleanly, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the brownies. Use a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 55%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These pecan praline brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these brownies a try. You won't be disappointed!
