One of the simplest recipes - but so incredibly delicious! They definitely did not disappoint.

I made these last night, very good. I doubled the recipe for a larger pan (not sure of the measurements but think of a traditional brownie pan, rectangular... I didn't have pecans; they were still good. I would like to stress that the raw batter is to die for! Haha! They don't taste good right out of the oven for some reason, but the next morning they were amazing. Make sure you sprinkle the powdered sugar on top; mind got a bit of a crinkled top.
Paula is amazing!
