If you’re looking for the best ooey-gooey black bottom praline brownie bar, look no further. These chocolate delights are easy to make and will satisfy every sweet tooth and chocolate lover in your family!
I borrowed this recipe from one of my favorite chefs, Alice Medrich or as I like to call her, the Queen of Chocolate. I’ve had great results with many of her recipes and this brownie bar was OMG delicious.
I did have the wrong sized pan when I made these bars which caused my cooking time to be off a bit, but I didn’t hear anyone complain about the consistency and quite frankly enjoyed the extra ooey-gooey texture. If you’d rather have them fully set a few more minutes in the oven will do the trick.
But just imagine this black bottom praline brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream… OMG.

Made these awesome brownies today. I only had salted butter so I omitted the salt in the recipe and I used a cup of chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate. They taste heavenly although they aren’t as thick and gooey looking as yours and I hoped they would be… thanks for sharing this awesome recipe…we all loved it and put it in our “keeper” recipes!

I made these brownie bars and they were incredible! I used brown butter in the brownie batter and it gave it a rich and nutty flavor that paired perfectly with the pecan topping. Thanks for a great recipe! 🙂
