# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Brownie Base
01 -
1 box brownie mix for 13×9 inch pan, prepare as directed on package
→ Pecan Pie Filling
02 -
1 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1½ cups light corn syrup
04 -
4 large eggs
05 -
¼ cup unsalted butter
06 -
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
07 -
2 cups pecans, roughly chopped
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven following the brownie mix box instructions. Grease a 13×9 inch baking pan thoroughly.
02 -
Mix brownie batter according to the box directions and pour evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for half the time recommended on the box.
03 -
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter, and vanilla continuously for 15 to 20 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, coating the back of a spoon.
04 -
Stir in the chopped pecans and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the topping reaches a runny oatmeal-like consistency.
05 -
Remove the partially baked brownies from the oven and pour the pecan filling evenly over the surface. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the center slightly jiggles when gently shaken.
06 -
Allow to cool completely at room temperature before slicing. For clean edges, slice with a warm knife. Optionally, serve warm squares topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use half of the brownie bake time for the initial bake to ensure the base is partially set. Metal pans brown faster than glass; adjust baking times accordingly. If the filling thickens too soon, let it rest off heat to maintain pourability. Fully cool before cutting to achieve neat squares.
