    This was loved by my family, who have a very sweet tooth. It is also very easy to make. I think that the picture is a little misleading as they appear to have kept some nuts whole and arranged them on the top. This is not in the recipe.

    Absolutely delicious. I kept the pecans whole and just decorated the top with them to make it look nice for a dinner party.

    Made this with bought pastry which was sweetened and tasted a bit lemony which I felt didn't really go too well with the chocolate but the filling was gorgeous, can't wait to try it out on my chocoholic buddy - she'll love it!

    This was delicious! Everyone loved it, the whole tart was gone in a few minutes. It's the best brownie recipe I've ever made, so next time I'll just do it without the pastry; it was just perfect, crusty on the outside with a moist and rich centre.

    Fantastic! Made my own sweet pastry, didn't chop my pecans, accidentally slightly undercooked it so the inside was still slightly gooey - definitely a mistake worth repeating!
