Chocolate Brownie Pecan Cake Pie

Hi, Friends! Are you starting to get ready for Thanksgiving like I am? Well, I found a very easy, but very decadent cake/pie for you to bring to your celebration! It’s from Southern Living and it’s absolutely incredible! This chocolate brownie pecan cake/pie is kind of like a cake, but kind of like a pie. It’s rich, indulgent but so easy make! I served mine with ice cream, but a tangy greek yogurt or cream would taste great with this, too!
