Triple Chocolate Pecan Brownies. These chewy soft brownies have a classic crisp outer, loaded with chocolate and pecan nuts. A sinfully rich chocolate dessert perfect for chocolate lovers. Well, what can I say! These brownies are absolutely delicious!
For this recipe, I've made these brownies rich, decadent and full of calories. So look away if you're on a diet!
These brownies are chewy and fudge like in texture on the inside whilst keeping that classic crisp outer as true brownies should be. The triple chocolate consists of cocoa powder, rich dark chocolate, and luxurious drinking chocolate.
The addition of espresso coffee brings out the flavor of the chocolate. You can't taste the coffee, it is simply used to enrich the chocolate flavor.

The added pecans makes for a lovely crunchy texture and with every bite, you certainly go to brownie heaven!
This recipe makes 24 slices. I have made the slices small because they really are rich, but of course, if you want larger slices, feel free to slice your bake into 9 or 12 slices.
Serve these brownies cold as they are or warm with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or ice cream. They really are delicious!
They're great to take to friends or give as gifts over the holiday period. Pop them in a nice airtight container and wrap in some lovely Christmas decorated paper. Your friends will love you!

Cook Time
25 - 30 minutes
Yield
24
You will need
8 x 8 inch (20 cm x 20 cm) pan
Please note, if you choose a larger pan, your brownies won't come out as high
Ingredients
150 g or 1 cup of Pecan Nuts
100 g or ⅔ cup dark BAKING chocolate
100 g or ½ cup butter
325 g or 1 ½ cups sugar
3 eggs
125 g or 1 cup AP Flour
2 Tablespoons espresso coffee
2 Tablespoons Cocoa powder unsweetened
2 Tablespoons Finest Drinking Chocolate (I used Green & Black's)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch salt
Instructions
1. Grease and line your 8 inch square baking pan and pre heat oven to 175 C / 325 F / Gas 3
2. Beat vanilla, sugar & eggs until light.
3. Melt butter & chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals until completely melted. You can also use a bowl over simmering hot water if you prefer. Add the espresso coffee.
4. Combine flour, salt, drinking chocolate & cocoa powder and add to egg mixture.
5. Add chocolate & butter, mix well.
6. Break the pecans with your fingers, I like mine quite chunky and without all the crumbs. Then spoon them into the batter.
7. Pour batter into the baking tin and bake for 30 - 40 minutes.
8. Allow them to cool on a rack and cut into squares after they have cooled.
If you try and cut them whilst they are still hot, they will be too gooey, and you can't cut them nice.
