Mocha Double Fudge Brownies

About the Recipe:  Delightfully delicious brownies are filled with a soft mocha center and topped with crunchy chopped pecans.  These are special treats that are a “match made in heaven” with a cup of hot coffee.  Just close your eyes and enjoy that beautiful scent of real chocolate.

About Chocolate:  Real chocolate is actually cocoa paste made from the seeds of the cacao tree, an evergreen that is native to and cultivated in Central and South America. It is grown as a crop in the East Indies, West Africa and Hawaii. The cacao tree needs a warm, humid climate with shade and regular rainfall. It can grow to 40 feet in the wild, but only to 25 feet when cultivated.

Cook’s Note:  The brownie base is thick and the filling is thin, but it will form into evenly baked brownies in the oven.  I used a teaspoon size scooper to drop the brownie batter over the filling.  I also like to cut each baked brownie square into 4 small confection pieces for an elegant dessert tray.
