Equipment

Ingredients
  

Brownies:

  • 1 box fudge brownie mix
  • water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie box
  • ½ cup pecans chopped

Praline Frosting:

  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • 6 Tbsp butter
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup pecans chopped and toasted
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350-f degrees. Line the 9″x13″ pan with parchment paper or foil, letting it hang over the sides so later you can remove it easily from the pan.
  • Make brownies as directed on box for fudgy brownies (adding water, oil, and eggs). Stir in 1/2 cup pecans.
  • Bake as directed on the box for temperature and time, then let completely cool.

For the topping:

  • In a small-medium sized saucepan, mix whipping cream, butter and brown sugar. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil and stir 1 – 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in toasted pecans, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Cool 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Spread frosting over the cooled pan of brownies. Let stand for about 45 minutes or until frosting is set before cutting.

Notes

When you prepare your brownies, if there are specific instructions on the box for “fudgy” style brownies, make that and not the “cake” style. To minimize cracks in the praline topping, cut the brownies while the topping is still a touch warm, about 45 minutes after you have frosted the brownies.
The calorie estimate for this recipe doesn't include the eggs and oil for the fudge brownie mix, as these amounts will vary based on brand.
