📝 Preparation Steps
1
Brownies:
2
preheat oven
3
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 baking pan with foil or parchment paper. Lightly grease the foil/parchment.
4
dry ingredients
5
In a medium bowl combine cocoa powder, powdered sugar, flour, salt, and chocolate chips. Set aside.
6
wet ingredients
7
Melt butter in a large microwave safe bowl (the butter should still be very warm). Immediately add granulated sugar and whisk until combined. Allow the mixture to sit at room temp for ⏱️ 5 minutes. After ⏱️ 5 minutes, whisk the mixture vigorously for about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add eggs, water, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir the mixture until it is glossy and well combined.
10
bake brownies
11
Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for ⏱️ 27-32 minutes. The brownies should be underbaked just slightly. If you insert a toothpick into the center it should come out with moist fudgy crumbs, but no raw batter. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. Immediately begin the pecan topping.

14
Melt butter in a medium sized saucepan. Add cream, brown sugar, syrup, and salt to the melted butter and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and simmer for ⏱️ 5 minutes, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and pecans. Set aside for ⏱️ 15 minutes to cool slightly. It should thicken up just a bit but still be pourable.
15
pour onto brownies
16
Carefully pour the pecan topping over the brownies and gently spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving. The topping will firm up once chilled.
