It’s game time folks!  Celebrate the March Basketball games with Brownie Pie (a.k.a. Tar Heel Pie).  It’s so delish, even folks from Durham will dig this recipe.

Now that we’re getting into March and spring is in the air, it’s time to get pumped… pumped for some college basketball.  Not your thing?  Hmmm…. you clearly didn’t go to school in North Carolina then.

I, however, bleed Carolina blue and can’t wait to see my team rock it this year.  I cannot put together a bracket without having my team as the winner.  ‘Tis true.  Fortunately, that often works out in my favor.

Obviously, the Big Guy is on my side.  Why else would he make the sky Carolina blue?

So yeah.  I’ll be up late to watch some b-ball.  And, while I’m cheering on my team, I’ll be enjoying one of my fave desserts.

Some call it Brownie Pie, others call it Tar Heel Pie, and you may also hear it called just plain awesome.

I start out with a store-bought crust.  I accept my limitations and know that whatever comes out of a box will be better than whatI can make from scratch.

Once you’ve laid out your pie crust in the plate, simply sprinkle pecans and then the chocolate brownie batter (if you can keep from eating it with a spoon first)!

Bake for 40 minutes and voila.  As simple as that.  I let it cool down a touch, then serve it warm with Salted Caramel Pretzel ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.

Are you drooling yet?

Oh, and never fear.  I can hear it already… you don’t want to eat something so rich before bed?  Fret less, and get yo’self some Nexium 24 HR.  Nexium 24HR is the new #1 selling frequent heartburn brand.* (*Based on IRI sales data 52 weeks ending 11/1/15 among OTC brands. May take 1 to 4 days for full effect. Use as directed.)

With just 1 pill a day you can enjoy your favorite foods and festivities without worrying about heartburn later on.

Rest assured –  you can have your pie and eat it too!
