Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor. A blend of semisweet and bittersweet chocolate is a good option.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- If you don't have coconut pecan frosting, you can use a simple chocolate frosting or ganache.
