Praline Brownies

Praline Brownies consist of a rich, fudgy brownie topped with icing that has the consistency and taste of pralines. So rich and decadent!

Brownies. They are my absolute favorite sweet treat. Especially really fudgy and moist brownies. Like these Praline Brownies.

They are so fudgy and gooey, they need to spend a little time in the refrigerator to fully hold their shape. A supremely sweet praline-style frosting with pecans makes them extra delectable. It’s two wonderful desserts combined into one.

How To Make Praline Brownies

Mix the brownie batter. Sift together the dry ingredients onto a piece of wax paper or parchment paper. Or you can do it into a bowl.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate and melted butter.

Add the 4 eggs to a large mixing bowl and whisk for 30 seconds. Add the sugar and continue to whisk until pale and smooth, about 1 minute. Yes, you will get an arm workout!

Mix in the vanilla.

Gradually whisk in the butter/chocolate mixture. Stir in the flour mixture until no flour is visible..

Pour batter into a greased 9-inch square baking dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.

Let cool and then refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Make the frosting and pour over the brownies. Let set for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Recipe Tips:

These Praline Brownies are very rich brownies. You’ll want to cut them into very small squares. Much smaller than I did. 🙂

Once set, the praline frosting is difficult to cut through without cracking. To help, dip a knife in warm water before each cut and wipe it clean.

Storage

Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for 4 to 5 days or in the refrigerator for a week. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
