Fudgy Chocolate Chunk–

Pecan Brownies
Vegetarian

If you are a chocoholic, this is the dessert for you. Chewy, rich
brownies are studded with chunks of dark chocolate and toasty
pecans. It’s the perfect treat to take with you on the go or to enjoy at
the end of a long day.
Double It: These brownies are perfect to bake and take to a potluck
or to feed a crowd. Double the ingredients and bake in a 13-by-9-inch
baking pan. Add 2 to 5 minutes to the baking time. Or if the brownies
are a dessert on your meal plan, freeze them and defrost for 3 to
4 hours in plastic wrap at room temperature before eating.
