Ingredients

450g brownie mix

30g melted margarine

90g espresso (ideally from an espresso machine, but 1 tsp instant coffee mixed with 90g hot water will work just as well)

1 tsp vanilla extract

18 (ish) pecans

1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200'C/180'C fan

In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, margarine, espresso and vanilla

Transfer the mix to a lined baking tin so that the mix is 1 inch deep

On a medium heat, fry the pecans in the maple syrup for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly

Once the pecans are cool enough to touch, press into your tray of brownie mix

Bake for 20-25 minutes and allow to cool before cutting!
