Years ago, I was given a recipe for chicken spread. It’s insanely good! Serve with crackers flavored with chicken.

FANTASTIC, simple, addictive!

I made these. First of all they are not cheap to make considering it takes nearly a whole jar of corn syrup and all the pecans. If you have a partial or dentures forget these. There are many more brownie recipes on this site that are much better. I usually make browines every couple weeks and these will not be on my list to make.

I have now made this 5 or 6 times. It is one of my favorite “wow” desserts. I use Hershey’s Triple Chocolate Brownie Mix from Sam’s for the brownie — awesome in itself. Note: if you have a non-stick spring-form pan you do NOT have to use the aluminum foil. The baked brownie is VERY strong and malleable. Run a knife around the edge and the spring-form comes right off. Flip the brownie over on to some parchment paper and start running a rounded knife around the pan base and it will come right off also.

This was a big hit with our Life Group. Cooking times need to be a little longer. Gooey goodness. Would use coarsely chopped of pecans next time.

OMG these are so good!!!! I wanted to see how easy they were to make a lil complicated but not to hard for me.Family devoured them before i got my second one.

Wow! Were these ever delicious brownies! I used pecan pieces instead of halves, and had to bake them in a small rectangular pan, but they were extraordinarily good. I’ll be making these a lot, especially at the holidays!

Easy to follow and delicious
Robert Thomas
So rich and delicious. Small pieces are plenty. I used maple syrup instead of Caro in pecan mixture, for just a little more flavor. Elegant-looking with whipped cream as a dinner party dessert.
Donald Crosby
I baked a few minutes less. gooey and delish!
John Rivas
Delicious!
Cristina Fields
Followed directions as stated. I wouldn’t make it again. Tasted like brownies with lots of nuts on top. Nothing special.
Briana Thompson
This was so delicious! The brownie got chewy/ overcooked a bit which is the only reason I gave this 4 stars. The pecan pie topping was so good. Overall a delicious and show stopping dessert!
