Keto Brownie Fudge

I found a recipe in my Women's World magazine a few weeks ago and had to try my hand at it.  I did twiddle with it a little, and have to say that while they called it a Brownie, I found it to be more like a good fudge.   A small piece was the perfect size for me.  OK, so I sampled two pieces, but then I took the rest to work and shared them there.   They liked them.   I do have a caveat here though.  I chopped up the dates a little, but didn't think to make sure that all the pits were gone. I took the package at its word that they were pitted, and one slipped through.  I got it out though After I got it all mixed together, I pressed it into an 8 inch pan which had parchment paper in the bottom and decorated it with some pecan halves. I let them set up overnight before slicing it into little squares. I had to repeat the picture.   These were rich and so full of chocolate flavor.
