White Chocolate Brownies with Pecans

I have a very sweet tooth, as you probably already know if you’ve been a reader of this blog for long. But lately, my sweet tooth is in overdrive. I’m making cookies almost every other day. A cupcake piled high with buttercream is usually one of the first things I think about in the morning. I want to chase every big bowl of fresh fruit with a bowl of ice cream.

I’m going to blame it on the baby and my weakened self-discipline, but it’s getting a little out of control. I need to reign it in, “detox”, or something along those lines… eventually, someday.

But not today, not when there are white chocolate brownies with pecans.

I debated what to actually call these little sugary squares, as I feared “brownie” may perturb you chocoholics out there. But a brownie this, in fact, is. I used a brownie recipe, swapping the bittersweet chocolate for white. I also followed the same method of melting the butter and chocolate together and gently stirring in the remaining ingredients (as opposed to the creaming method used in most “blondies”). And so a brownie it shall be called.

Whatever you want to call them, they’re incredible, and incredibly addicting. Bake with caution, because half of the pan will be gone before you know it.
