Pecan Pie Brownies - Football Friday

These brownies are amazing.  These are great for tailgating or even Thanksgiving dessert.  How can you go wrong with pecan pie layered on top of gooey chocolate brownies?  All this picture is missing is a big ol' scoop of vanilla ice cream!

This recipe uses a box of brownie mix for the base.  I used Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix, and it worked great.  These were a big hit at the tailgate.  Shh, don't tell anyone, but I stashed a few brownies at home so we would have a few to snack on after the football game.  It's one of the perks of being the baker!
