Are you as much of a chocolate lover as I am? These will hit the spot. They are rich and decadent. The pecans and walnuts just make it that much better. They were so good I had to send them home with some friends so I didn’t eat them all. You can change the amount or the type of nuts you use – or even if you want to use them at all! I like that there are a few different ways to alter this recipe, it can be made different every time! Make sure not to over bake these or over stir the batter – you dont want to activate the gluten too much – and you definitely dont want a crumbly dry brownie when you were expecting a warm moist brownie. Enjoy this easy and tasty recipe!!
