Ingredients
- 1 family-size box brownie mix for a 9×13-inch pan, plus ingredients to prepare
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1½ cups corn syrup
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecans chopped or whole
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the brownie base for 20 minutes, or 10 minutes less than the time recommended on the box.
- While the brownies bake, mix the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in the pecans.
- Carefully remove the partially baked brownies from the oven and pour the pecan mixture evenly over the top.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the pecan filling is set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
- Let cool completely at room temperature (about 1 hour) before slicing into 20 squares.
Notes
If a family-size brownie mix isn’t available, use two regular 8×8-inch brownie mixes with their listed ingredients.
A combination of chopped and whole pecans adds great texture.
For clean slices, chill the brownies briefly and use a sharp knife.
