The Brownie

Place the butter, eggs, and Brownie Mix into a large bowl and stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until combined.

Pour into the tray, place in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Once the brownie is baked take out of the oven and let cool in the tray.

The Pecan Topping

Place the pecans on a baking tray and place them in the oven for 7-10 minutes until toasted. Stir or shake the pan occasionally so the nuts brown evenly without burning.

Place the butter into a medium pot and melt, stirring with a wooden spoon until it is a dark golden-brown colour. Then add the cream and sweetener and simmer the mixture while stirring constantly (for approximately 7-10 minutes) until the caramel thickens.

Take off the heat and stir in the peanut butter until smooth then stir in the pecans.

The Assembly

Pour the pecan topping on top of the baked brownie and place in the fridge overnight or until set. Once set cut into 15 pieces and enjoy.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
