Bayou Brownies

Welcome back to the kitchen, y’all. I realize I’m not doing anyone’s diet a favor with today’s recipe, but ever so often you’ve got to indulge yourselves. We’re here in the All Things Southern kitchen today making mouth-watering “Bayou Brownies” and you’re gonna love ’em. Remember the moderation rule— serving size is the key.

• 1 cup chopped pecans
• ½ cup melted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 18.25 oz pkg. yellow cake mix
• 1 8 oz pkg. softened cream cheese
• 1 16oz pkg. powdered sugar

We’ll combine a cup of chopped pecans with ½ cup butter, 1 egg, and a box of yellow cake mix. We’ll stir this until well blended and press into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 X 9 pan. Then we’ll set it aside and prepare the top layer. We’re gonna take a package of cream cheese, and blend it with a box of powdered sugar and the last 2 eggs. We’ll beat this until it’s smooth and pour our cream cheese mixture here over the cake mix layer. Yum! All that’s left to do is to bake it at 325 ° for 40 minutes or until the cheese mixture is set. Let cool completely before cutting into squares (and ringing the porch bell!)

Hugs,
