Chocolate Pecan Bayou Brownies

It's that time again...Brownie Time!

I wanted to do something different then my traditional fudgy wudgy brownies I always make.

I wanted a brownie that's so rich, you would need two glasses of milk to wash it down.

Found it folks, right on the pages of Southern Living Magazine!   

Bayou Brownies are made using butter, cream cheese, nuts, did I mention butter, and yellow cake mix.

Well, I didn't have any yellow cake mix, but I did have Duncan Hines Devils Food Chocolate!

Let the baking begin people.

This recipe is so simple, but the flavor is out of this world!

Mix the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, nuts and one egg together, press that mixture into a greased 13X9 inch baking pan.

Next, mix remaining eggs, cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar.

Top the chocolate mixture with the cream cheese and bake for about 40 minutes at 325 degrees.

All done, ready to eat, and pass the milk!!!!
