My Favorite Brownies

I found this recipe in the July 14, 2004, issue of the Grand Rapids Press. Sadly, I discovered it the week I learned that I have diabetes, so I haven't had very many of them. But the ones I have had were great, so mix them up, bake them and ENJOY!

Coconut Pecan Brownies

1 package (21 ounces) fudge brownie mix
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 can (15.5 ounces) coconut pecan frosting
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine brownie mix, water, oil and egg. Beat 50 strokes by hand. Add the frosting and sour cream; mix well.

Spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle pecans and chocolate chips evenly over top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 42-47 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (mine have always been done in 45).

Cool completely.
