Notes
One can substitute favorite nuts in this recipe; I use walnuts instead of the pecans. Also, depending on the oven, one may need to cook the brownies a little longer. Be careful; these guys are addictive! My boyfriend couldn't get enough of these!
*To cut some calories out of this rich dessert, omit the nuts and use Splenda in place of regular sugar. In my opinion, it tastes just as good.
