Ingredients

Brownie Base:

• 1 box brownie mix (ensure it includes instructions for a 13×9 pan and required ingredients)

Pecan Pie Filling:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups pecans, chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. Prepare the pecan pie filling by whisking together sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 15 minutes). Stir in the chopped pecans and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the consistency resembles runny oatmeal. Set aside.

Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into a greased 13×9 inch baking pan and pre-bake for 20 minutes. *Note: Pre-baking ensures the brownies don’t become too gooey when the pecan pie filling is added.

Once pre-baked, remove the brownies from the oven and carefully pour the pecan pie filling over the top, spreading it evenly. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling jiggles slightly when shaken. Allow the pecan pie brownies to cool completely before slicing. Serve and enjoy this irresistible dessert!
