Pecan Pie Brownies

• 1 (2-pound) frozen pecan pie, thawed
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 3/4 cups (11.5-ounce package) semisweet chocolate chunks
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Vegetable cooking spray

1. Cut pie into cubes. Set aside.
2. Microwave 1/2 cup butter and chocolate chunks in a glass bowl at HIGH 1 minute. Stir and microwave 1 more minute. Stir until mixture is smooth.
3. Beat chocolate mixture, sugar, eggs, milk, and half of pie cubes at low speed with a heavy-duty stand mixer until blended.
4. Add flour and baking powder, stirring with a wooden spoon until blended. Stir remaining half of pie cubes into batter. (Batter will be thick.) Spoon batter into a 13- x 9-inch pan coated with cooking spray.
5. Bake at 350u0b0 for 50 minutes. Cool brownies completely on a wire rack. Cut into triangles or squares.
