These Triple Chocolate Pecan Fudge Brownies are without a doubt the most delicious brownies I've ever had. You're friends and family will love them
These Triple Chocolate Pecan Fudge Brownies are without a doubt the most chocolaty brownie you’ll ever make…. yes they are truly insanely delicious!
When I first found this recipe, I had my doubts about a cocoa brownie being that chocolaty. Well, I’m certainly not a doubter anymore.
It was really no surprise that I turned to Alice Medrich for the recipe. After all, she is “The Queen of Chocolate”.
In fact, these Brownies were so rich and delicious, I actually cut them into 4 small pieces each. I must admit that I still ate 4 of them, but it kept me from trying to eat two of the full-size brownies!
Here is the recipe for Alice Medrich’s, Best Ever Cocoa Brownies…..just kicked up a notch, oh yeah you’re going to love these brownies!

These Triple Chocolate Pecan Fudge Brownies are without a doubt the most delicious brownies I've ever had. You're friends and family will love them
- 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/4 sticks)
- 1 1/4 cup sugar 250 gm
- 3/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 105 gm
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 1.5 gm
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2.5 ml
- 2 cold large eggs
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour 60 gm
- 2/3 cup pecans 100 gm, chopped
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips* 75 gm
- 1/2 cup milk Chocolate Chips 75 gm
- 1/2 Cup white Chocolate Chips 75 gm
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and get a 9″ square baking pan.
- Line the baking pan with parchment or aluminum foil with an overhang on opposite sides so you can lift out the brownies from the pan.
- Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa and salt in a heatproof bowl and place it over a small sauce pot with simmering water, to create a double boiler.
- Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and allow to cool just a little bit.
- Add the vanilla and stir with a wooden spoon.
- Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one (I’m not too sure just how vigorously you can stir the chocolate with a wooden spoon but give it a go).
- When the batter looks thick, shiny and well blended add the flour and stir until you can no longer see it, and then beat it vigorously for 40 strokes with your wooden spoon.
- Add the nuts and chocolate chips and spread evenly in your baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out slightly moist with batter.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- After they have cooled lift the brownies out of the pan and gently remove the foil or parchment from the sides of the brownies.
- Cut the brownies into squares and enjoy!!
* feel free to mix up the chips using whatever type you like, mint chocolate, peanut butter, cinnamon, or whatever flavor chips you might like.

February 1, 2013 at 11:29 amI have a pecan fudge bar that will not be eaten. What recipes can I use so the fudge does not go to waste. Thanks

February 1, 2013 at 6:44 pmhi Julie, off hand I don’t have any recipes using something like that, You may try chopping it up and using it in the middle of a cake with the frosting as a cake filling, people often use candy bars for that.
Julie says
February 1, 2013 at 7:59 pmThanks so much
Audrey says
November 29, 2012 at 7:22 pmThese were absolutely amazing, and definitely a “do again”! I used room temp. coconut oil in place of the butter and white whole wheat flour in place of the white flour. Only had one kind of Chocolate chips in the house, but they turned out nicely. They will make a nice Christmas gift all wrapped up in parchment paper and twine. Thank you!!!!
Chef D says
November 29, 2012 at 8:20 pmthanks for letting me know Audrey, glad to hear it’s so easily adapted! I hope everyone loves those delicious brownies!

February 17, 2012 at 5:10 pmHoly wow Chef. Its been one of those weeks (months… starts to the year???) Even I have been hoping for a few snow days to give me an excuse to just catch up. It’s not going to happen this season is it?
But – these brownies? Yeah, they need to happen. The picture did get my attention and now it’s all I want. 😉
Michele says
February 13, 2012 at 7:37 pmChef, I just gotta tell ya that you’re forcing me to break one of my rules. I promised myself that I would nevah evah respond to the taunting call of a brownie recipe! (Isn’t that ridiculous?) I mean, I already have WAY too many bownie recipes! Even more than are posted on my site. Good grief…
Your recipe, however, simply cannot be ignored! You had me with the photography, and then with Alice Medrich, and then I read the recipe. Mercy, mercy, mercy, I’m a goner! There’s no hope. This is my brand-new top fave brownie recipe. Thanks!
But I’m nevah evah gonna respond to the taunting call of another brownie recipe…. 🙂
Chef D says
February 13, 2012 at 8:01 pmThanks Michele, I hope your stomach thanks you after you try it! And aren’t brownies just wonderful…sigh
Chef D says
February 13, 2012 at 11:00 amNo I don’t because my name is basically my brand, so I’m sticking with just one page, it gets to be too much work maintaining all those pages! Now the good thing about G+ is in how you set your circles up, because what you share depends on the circles you choose or you can just hit public which goes to everyone. You can have secure private conversations with your family just by addressing it to the person or circle that you are speaking with. You can set up as many circles as you want, like family, just mom, or just sis, and send out announcements to all the family or have a private conversation with just one of them. And still be able to share your posts with the public.
if you have any questions or concerns don’t hesitate to contact me!

February 13, 2012 at 10:54 amDo you have a personal Google plus page set up in addition to your blog page (that’s how I’m set up in Facebook but google is driving me bonkers and I’m not sure how to keep my personal lie protected there.
Jacqueline - The Dusty Baker says
February 6, 2012 at 11:26 pmUm, yep, adapting these this week as I MUST EAT THEM!

February 4, 2012 at 2:06 pmBrownies…like fudge…all sounds wonderful to me. I kind of feel like it is not some days but most days I could use a treat like this.
Liz says
February 4, 2012 at 12:31 pmYour brownies look spectacular, Dennis! I’m a huge fan of Alice Medrich, too!
PS…thanks for your quick help with my blog. Unfortunately my blog designer has to do it with my current template, but at least I gave it a shot 🙂

February 4, 2012 at 7:17 amOh my word, those do look insanely delicious! Stumbled them!
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love. says

Pennie says
February 3, 2012 at 10:20 pmYummm…these do look insanely delicious! Seems we were on the same page this week–I just posted my recipe for Caramel Nut Brownies, a riff on the same theme. Congrats on your new appointment to the Chef Team on Google +!!
Rebecca@A Dusting of Sugar says
February 3, 2012 at 5:25 pmOh, yum. I never get brownies with nuts in them.
Christie says
February 3, 2012 at 3:47 pmMmmmmmm…these have my name written all over them. There’s not a lot of flour in there, so maybe I could convert them to a “gluten-free” recipe with some success. If I do, I’ll let you know how they turn out.
Thanks for the tips Chef!
Lacy @ NYCityEats says
February 3, 2012 at 2:27 pmOoohh fudgy brownies are my favorite! I love the pecans too, these look amazing! Congrats on the Live Classes, very cool!

Maureen says
February 3, 2012 at 2:27 amI saw you over at chefhangout and then I looked at the times and I gotta think about setting the alarm 🙂
I am on G+ but I rarely go there. Thanks for the nudge. I find it difficult to tweet, facebook, work, blog and comment, much less cook. I’m running out of hours. 🙂
Steve @ the black peppercorn says
February 2, 2012 at 4:02 pmChef D these look absolutely delicious! I have been delaying move into Google+ but you may have just pushed me to get into it. There are so many social media options out there – it is almost overwhelming. Well, you will likely see me in Google+ soon!
Megan @ Pip and Ebby says
February 2, 2012 at 3:06 pmI love that you have “insanely delicious” in the title. It looks quite fitting. Those are some gooood-lookin’ brownies!
I haven’t gotten into Google+ much yet, but thanks for the encouragement to do so!! Adding it to my list!
ohkeeka [The Type A Housewife] says
February 2, 2012 at 11:11 amOh my, these look decadent! And the best brownies are the super decadent ones. 🙂 I really need to get myself set up on Google+–I was waiting to see if it would pan out before setting up an account, but it looks like it’s the place to be now!
gloria says
February 2, 2012 at 7:00 amah Dennis Im happy to see you again I had your old blog, These look amazing like all you make and the pictures are amazing(lol)
Marsha @ The Harried Cook says
February 1, 2012 at 9:58 pmI have only recently joined Google+ and I am still floundering around trying to find my way… It was a good read! Thank you for sharing, Chef Dennis! And those brownies…They look absolutely perfect! Yum!
Roxana GreenGirl { A little bit of everything} says

Tina@flourtrader says
February 1, 2012 at 2:45 pmCongrats on the new endeavor with chefshangout, sounds like a pretty good program. Also, I find it sad that GFC is going away, like disappearing. I do need to improve my Google + profile. I would think that if you are GFC and get on Google + it would just flip. The way you put this here is that GFC will not matter and will not impact google +. That means back to zero followers instead of flipped-please clarify.
Also, these brownies look like the perfect fix for a chocoholic-delicious.
Deanna says
February 1, 2012 at 1:25 pmThose brownies look amazing! I haven’t really tried google plus, but I’ve been a facebook user since before they opened it up to everyone. I already spend so much time on my computer each day I don’t know that I have the time for google plus.
Amy's Cooking Adventures says
February 1, 2012 at 1:19 pmThanks for the Google + info, Chef Dennis! You have me convinced. I just signed up today 🙂
Jenny @ Savour the Senses says
February 1, 2012 at 1:11 pmThese sound delicious. Thanks for the info about google+ I was definitely a hater before, but now I am going to look into it!
Kiri W. says
February 1, 2012 at 12:52 pmGood grace, chef, you’re ruining me! That looks amaaazing!
Culinary Cache says
February 1, 2012 at 10:13 amBrownies are amazing, but these look even more amazing and I love that you used pecans! I don’t think you could have chosen a better way to photograph these either with a nice tall glass of milk. Great recipe!
RavieNomNoms says
February 1, 2012 at 10:02 amThose look marvelous and what an exciting endeavor! I am sure you will do awesome!
Connie says
February 1, 2012 at 9:56 amLove Alice. Her brownines are fab. I checked out the chefhangout.com. Really neat idea. I can’t wait to see your first class.
Chef D says
February 1, 2012 at 8:13 amthe sugar will be mostly dissolved at this point but not completely, as you continue to mix everything in it will continue to dissolve.
Liam @ "Is butter a carb?" says
February 1, 2012 at 5:48 amI want! want want want want want! They look soo good!
Great post Dennis! Have a Happy Wednesday 🙂
Mary says
February 1, 2012 at 12:35 amI’ve never gotten into Twitter beyond the very basics. You’ve pushed me enough now that I really do need to go sign up for a blog account with Google +. Thanks again for all of the tips! Have an excellent night.
(Those brownies look SO good; I’ve decided they are evil and must not be made. However, they will be pinned, so that I can easily find them in a moment of need!)
Elin says
January 31, 2012 at 10:30 pmGosh…those brownies are really a killer….I would love to take a bite but it has got to wait till I get the pecans 🙂 and for the time being virtual feasting first before the real thing comes :p Thanks for the info on Google+ now I get a clearer picture about what it is all about. Chef, have a great day!
Regards,
Elin
Cassie says
January 31, 2012 at 10:28 pmThese brownies look amazingly sinful! And thank you for the encouragement on Google+. I’m one of those that is signed up but rarely go. You have encouraged me to use it more often. Thanks!
Diana says
January 31, 2012 at 10:19 pmThose brownies look fantastic, I’ll have to try. Good luck with your classes, they sound like a great idea.

Brian @ A Thought For Food says
January 31, 2012 at 10:06 pmThese look marvelous! I’m a sucker for a good brownie.
Not sure I can get behind Google+… but I might be forced to.
Chef D says
January 31, 2012 at 10:23 pmThey were so good, gotta love a good brownie!
I don’t think its a matter of liking it or getting behind it, but its only going to keep getting bigger. I have found it a lot more interactive and interesting than facebook, I never really got the hang of twitter, so this worked out well for me.
Narelle says
December 17, 2016 at 1:11 amHow much butter? … Not listed in Ingredients.
Chef Dennis Littley says
December 17, 2016 at 7:43 amI’m so sorry about that, I changed recipe plug ins and some of my recipes didn’t fully convert. You need 10 tbsp butter (1 1/4 sticks)
