Blond Brownies a la Mode

We have a lot of church socials and I'm always looking for something new and different to prepare. These brownies, drizzle with a sweet maple sauce, are a sure hit...with or without the ice cream.

20 ServingsPrep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans
MAPLE CREAM SAUCE:
1 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup evaporated milk
Vanilla ice cream and chopped pecans

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt;
gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in pecans.
Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for
25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes
out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
For the sauce, combine syrup and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a
boil; cook and stir for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in
milk. Cut brownies into squares; cut in half if desired.
Place on dessert plates with a scoop of ice cream. Top with sauce;
