These were DIVINE! Sad to say but this was pretty much my dinner last night. The other sad thing is my DH and kids don't like pecans; these brownines will be all mine. I used light brown sugar instead of dark which the recipe didn't suffer from it. I am not a fan of Almond extract but you could not taste it. This was very easy and yummy. Made for ZWT9 for the Gourment Goddesses July 2013.

These were so quick and easy to make. Everyone jumped in and they were gone in a few minutes. I'll be making these again soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
