Classic Brownies – rich and fudgy classic brownies with pecans! These will fix all of your chocolate cravings!

Pin this recipe for later!

In typical me form, I’ve allowed Big Brother to take over my life.

I am watching the feeds for hours every day (although I’m currently marathoning the Heroes vs Villains season of Survivor – random, much?), I listen to Big Brother podcasts while I cook, I watch and rewatch the episodes.

In other words, I have a problem.

I didn’t think it was a big deal until the other day. Clementine woke me up in the middle of the night to go outside and as we’re going down the stairs, I say to her, “See Clem! This is why no one wants to be in an alliance with you! You wake everyone up 30 minutes after they fall asleep!”

I mean. What? Where did that even come from?

So if I’m not cooking or blogging much this summer, it’s because I’m too busy yelling at my dogs that I’m not taking them to the final 2 with me and even if I do, no one’s going to vote for them.

It’s probably time to back away from the Big Brother, huh?

How To Make Classic Brownies recipe

These Classic Brownies are DANGEROUS. So rich and fudgy with just the right amount of crunch from the pecans. I knew if I didn’t get rid of them fast, I’d eat the entire pan.

• Melt butter and chocolate together; cool slightly
• To the chocolate, add sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt; beat until combined
• Add flour; stir until combined
• Fold in pecans
• Bake about 30 minutes, until the top is cracked and the center is set
• Cool completely before serving

How Long Are Brownies Good For?

These Classic Brownies will be good for up to 4 days. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. 

Can You Freeze Brownies?

Yes, you can freeze brownies! I like to wrap them individually in plastic wrap and then place them all in a ziploc freezer bag before freezing. That way you can pull the brownies out one at a time if you need to. 

They will be good in the freezer for up to 3 months.
