Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or cooking spray.
- Prepare the brownie layer: Make brownie batter according to package instructions. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 20–25 minutes, until just set but not fully cooked.
- Make the pecan pie topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Stir in chopped pecans.
- Combine layers: Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the partially baked brownies.
- Bake again: Return to oven and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is set and slightly golden.
- Cool completely before slicing into squares.
- Serve and enjoy—perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
If you want, I can also give you a chewy, from-scratch brownie base instead of a boxed mix so it’s 100% homemade. Would you like me to do that?
