Alright, alright, let me tell ya’ll about somethin’ real good. We’re gonna make somethin’ called “Dolly Parton Pecan Pie Brownies.” Now, I ain’t no fancy baker, mind you. I just like things simple and tasty, like good ol’ country cookin’. This here recipe, it ain’t hard, even a young’un could do it, mostly.
First off, you gotta get yourself some brownie mix. Yeah, the kind in the box. Don’t go gettin’ all highfalutin on me with scratch brownies. Boxed ones work just fine. You get the chocolate kind, the fudgy kind, whatever tickles your fancy. Just make sure it’s a good one, ya hear? Don’t go buyin’ that cheap stuff neither.
Now, you follow the directions on the box. It’ll tell you how much water and eggs and oil to put in. Just do what it says. Mix it all up real good in a bowl. Get all them lumps out. You want it smooth like butter, not all chunky and weird.
- Mix the brownie batter.
- Pour it in a pan.
- Bake it until it is done.
Okay, so you got your brownie batter all mixed up. Now, you gotta grease a pan. I use a 9×13 pan, but you can use whatever you got. Just make sure it’s big enough for all that batter. Pour that batter into the pan and spread it out even. You don’t want one side all thick and the other all thin, that just ain’t right.
Now, here’s where the pecan pie part comes in. You gotta get yourself some pecan pie filling. You can buy it in a can, or you can make your own if you’re feelin’ fancy. But like I said, I like things simple, so I just buy the can. Take that fillin’ and just pour it right on top of the brownie batter. Don’t stir it in or nothin’. Just let it sit right on top. It’ll do its thing in the oven, trust me. And don’t you go skimping on the pecan pie filling neither.
Now, you stick that pan in the oven. The brownie box will tell you how long to bake it and at what temperature. Just follow them directions, they know what they’re talkin’ about. But keep an eye on it though. You don’t want it to burn. You want it to be nice and golden brown, and the pecan pie part should be all bubbly and gooey.
Once it’s done, take it out of the oven and let it cool. Don’t go tryin’ to cut it while it’s hot, you’ll just make a mess. Let it cool down good, then you can cut it into squares. And let me tell ya, these brownies are somethin’ else. They’re rich and chocolatey and gooey and sweet, all at the same time. They’re the perfect treat for any occasion.
Now, some folks like to add extra pecans on top. If you want, you can do that. Just sprinkle some chopped pecans on top of the pecan pie fillin’ before you bake it. It’ll give it a little extra crunch. I also heard some folks put chocolate chips in it, but I ain’t never tried that before, maybe you could and then tell me how it is. You can even add a little bit of bourbon to the pecan pie filling to give it a kick. But honestly, they’re perfect just the way they are. Simple and delicious.
So there you have it. Dolly Parton Pecan Pie Brownies. Easy as pie, well, maybe easier than pie. And they taste so good, they’ll make you wanna slap yo’ mama, but don’t actually go and do that, ya hear? Just enjoy the brownies and be grateful for good food and good company. And remember, don’t overthink it. Just follow the directions and you’ll be fine. Now go on and bake yourself a batch. You won’t regret it. And if you do mess it up, well, that just means you gotta make another batch, ain’t nothin’ wrong with that!
You know what else? These here brownies are great for bringin’ to potlucks, church socials, or just sharin’ with your neighbors. People love ‘em. They’ll be askin’ you for the recipe, and you can just tell ‘em, “It’s a secret family recipe,” and then wink. Or you can tell ‘em the truth, it ain’t no big secret really, just good ol’ fashioned home bakin’ with a little bit of Dolly Parton magic thrown in.
And that’s all there is to it, simple as that. So go on, get in the kitchen and bake yourself some happiness. You deserve it.
