Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • large bowl
  • medium bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients

For the Brownie Base

  • 1 box brownie mix the foundation for your fudgy delight.
  • 3 large eggs binding agents for a rich texture.
  • ½ cup melted butter adds moisture and a scrumptious flavor.

For the Pecan Topping

  • 1 cup pecans, chopped brings that nutty crunch to mimic pecan pie.
  • 1 ½ cups sugar sweetens the topping to perfection.
  • ¾ cup corn syrup gives the filling a syrupy richness.
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor beautifully.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Prepare the brownie mix in a large bowl with the eggs and melted butter until smooth, then pour into the baking dish.
  • Bake the brownie base for 20 minutes until firm to the touch but not fully baked.
  • Whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then fold in the chopped pecans.
  • Pour the pecan mixture over the partially baked brownies, spreading it evenly.
  • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25 to 35 minutes until set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan at room temperature for about 1 hour before cutting into squares.

Notes

Perfect timing is key for a fudgy texture, and cooling the brownies enhances their flavors.
