Jamaican Coffee Brownies With Pecans image

This comes from May 2006 issue of Bon Appetit. They have a ganache topping. You could use any fine quality coffee or espresso bean for this, but the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is famous.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups sugar
15 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (that's 2 sticks minus 1 tbsp)
