These are okay for what they are: 1-bowl/pot brownies that require only regular pantry ingredients and just a few minutes to put together.
At room temperature they’re more cake-like, cold from the fridge, more fudge-y. (photo is of cold brownies). The chocolate flavour is okay and the toasted pecans prevent them from being too sweet.
A good recipe to use when you want brownies but don’t have chocolate on hand.

These brownies are rich and chocolate-y, as well as very easy and fuss-free to make. There are only a handful of ingredients, all of which are already on hand in our kitchen. The last time we made these my ten year-old daughter proudly made them all herself, with only very light, hands-off supervision from the grown-ups. The photo shows her brownies.
The texture is tender and dense/fudgy, perfect for us but maybe not quite right if you're looking for a firm or chewy texture. They are a not-too-sweet brownie, with enough cocoa to balance the sugar in the recipe. However, if you opt to leave out the nuts, they will be a lot sweeter, which may be good or bad depending on how you like your brownies.
For a moist, fudgy texture, it's important not to overbake.
