Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 350°. Spray bottom of 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, stir brownie mix, water, oil and eggs until well blended. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans; spread in pan.

2 Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until center is set. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cool completely on wire rack, about 45 minutes.

3 Spoon ice cream evenly over brownies; smooth with back of spoon or rubber spatula. Freeze uncovered until firm, about 3 hours.

4 To serve, drizzle hot fudge topping over dessert with fork using quick strokes. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup pecans. Let stand at room temperature about 5 minutes before cutting. Serve topped with whipped topping.

Expert Tips:

Vanilla ice cream can be used in place of dulce de leche ice cream. Drizzle bars with 1/2 cup caramel topping as well as with hot fudge.
