Kelli'S Rich, Chewy Brownies
Rich, chewy brownies infused with chocolate and pecans, topped with smooth chocolate fudge frosting. Perfect for chocolate lovers and special occasions, offering indulgent flavor and moist texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine chocolate morsels and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at high for 2 minutes, stirring once.
- Stir in sweetened condensed milk, beaten egg, biscuit mix, and chopped pecans until well blended.
- Spoon the batter into a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool slightly on a wire rack before spreading with chocolate fudge frosting.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate morsels instead of semi-sweet. If you don't have biscuit mix, you can substitute it with an equal amount of all-purpose flour and a teaspoon of baking powder. Ensure the butter is melted completely for a smooth batter, and always let the brownies cool slightly before frosting to avoid melting the fudge.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are perfect on their own, but for a decadent dessert, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. They also pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making them a great treat for gatherings. For a different flavor experience, try them alongside Mel'S Impossible Quiche.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, microwave individual pieces for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy them warm and fudgy, or place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different nuts in this recipe?
Absolutely! While pecans add a lovely crunch, you can substitute them with walnuts, almonds, or even skip the nuts entirely for a nut-free version. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor will vary slightly depending on your choice.
How do I know when the brownies are done baking?
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. If it comes out wet with batter, they need more time in the oven.
Can I freeze these brownies?
Yes, you can freeze the brownies! Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
