1box9x13 dark chocolate brownie mix + ingredients listed on back of box
1/2cuphot fudge sauce
2frozen deep dish pie shells
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl or in the same saucepan used to melt the butter, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, flour and vanilla.
Add corn syrup and eggs and whisk together until combined.
Stir in pecans and set aside.
In another bowl, prepare brownie batter as instructed by package instructions. If given the option, prepare to create "fudgy" brownies, NOT "cakelike."
Stir hot fudge sauce into brownie batter until combined. Set aside.
Spread an even layer of 1 cup dark chocolate chips on to the bottom of each pie shell.
Pour half of brownie batter over chocolate chips in each pie shell.
Pour half of pecan mixture over brownie batter in each pie shell.
Bake pies for 40-45 minutes. When you remove pies from oven the pie will NOT be set. Don't worry - this is what you're looking for and will create the fudgy interior of your pie.
Let pies cool completely before storing in refrigerator.
If desired, top each slice with whipped cream, chopped pecans or even additional hot fudge to garnish.
