Do you remember the old commercial (yes I am dating myself here) for Almond Joy/Mounds?

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.

It was meant for people like me, who just have a hard time deciding on one flavor. My kids are like that, too. Ethan is nearly 18 but he will still stand and stare at a menu or candy display, a blank look on his face while the minutes tick away. He just can't decide between the flavors available.

These brownies are meant for people like us; people who really would love to be able to settle on what they love but can't because there are just too many choices. The bottom layer is a chewy, fudgey brownie and the top layer is made of rich, pecan laden blondies. Yum!

They come out perfectly in a 13x 9 inch pan. Thick and chewy, each bite replete with layers of intense flavor. This is not a party in your mouth; it is a parade.
