Prep: 25 min | Yield: 24
Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 (18.3 ounce) box Betty Crocker® fudge brownie mix
- Water, vegetable oil and eggs as called for on brownie mix box
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Praline Frosting
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray bottom only of 13 x 9-inch pan with cooking
spray.
Brownies
- Make brownie mix as directed on box for fudge brownies, using water, oil and eggs.
- Stir in chopped pecans.
- Bake as directed.
- Cool completely, about 1 hour.
Praline Frosting
- In medium saucepan, mix whipping cream, butter and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat. Stir in pecans, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Cool for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Spread frosting over brownies. Allow to stand for 30 to 45 minutes, or until frosting is set.
- For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.
- 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.
Notes
Expert Tip: To toast pecans, heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread pecans in a single layer in a baking pan. Bake for about 5 to 7 minutes or until golden and toasted.
