Pecan Pie Brownies
Description
Pecan Pie Brownies starts with a standard box brownie mix baked slightly less than package directions indicate, forming a dense chocolate foundation. The topping combines granulated sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and pecans to mimic traditional pecan pie filling. Once the initial brownies have set briefly, the pecan mixture is poured on top and baked further until the filling firms up but still jiggles slightly, ensuring a moist, chewy topping with crunchy pecans. Cooling completely before cutting helps maintain clean portions.
The brownies deliver a contrast between the rich cocoa flavor base and the bright sugary pecan topping, making a dessert suitable for dessert tables or casual treats. It pairs well with a glass of milk or coffee for balance.
If a single family-size box is unavailable, two regular-size boxes can be substituted based on pan size adjustments, maintaining the correct batter quantity for the 9x13 pan. Cooling fully before slicing improves presentation and texture stability.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix plus ingredients to prepare (see note, family-size
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups corn syrup
- 4 egg
- ¼ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecans chopped or whole
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan (glass or metal) and set aside.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to package directions. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes (or 10 minutes less than the package directions indicate).
- While the brownies bake, mix together the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in pecans.
- After brownies have partially baked, remove the pan from the oven and pour the pecan pie filling over the top. Spread the topping into an even layer.
- Place the brownies back in the oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until the filling only jiggles slightly in the middle when you move the pan.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool to room temperature before cutting into 20 squares.
Notes
- Use a family-size brownie mix or substitute with two regular-size boxes for a 9x13 pan.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to achieve clean squares.
- The filling should jiggle slightly when done baking to keep gooey texture.
