Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

In a large microwave safe bowl, combine the butter, Dixie Crystals granulated sugar, Dixie Crystals brown sugar, cocoa powder and salt.

Microwave in 30 second-intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the butter is melted - this should take between 60-90 seconds. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes to ensure it is not so hot as to cook the eggs.

Stir in vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time, full incorporating between each addition. Stir until the batter is thick and shiny.

Add flour and chocolate chunks, then stir until the batter is well combined and shiny. The batter will be thick. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly.

When the brownies are almost done baking, begin making the Pecan Pie Topping.

In a large pot, mix together Dixie Crystals dark brown sugar and flour. Stir in heavy cream, butter, and maple syrup.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Once it starts to boil, turn the heat down to low and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Careful not to allow the sugar mixture to burn.

Remove from the heat and stir in chopped pecans and vanilla. Once combined, immediately pour over brownies. Allow to cool to room temperature, then move to the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight before cutting and serving.
