Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups Pecans
- 4 Eggs
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Light corn syrup
Base and Baking Ingredients:
- 1 box Brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on brownie mix package
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Create a luscious pecan pie filling by whisking sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring consistently until ingredients meld together.
- Prepare brownie batter following package directions, ensuring smooth consistency.
- Grease a 9×13 inch pan and pour brownie batter evenly, then bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until partially set.
- While brownies pre-bake, monitor the filling’s texture, stirring continuously until it thickens enough to coat a spoon (approximately 15 minutes).
- Fold pecans into the thickened filling, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until reaching a pourable yet slightly viscous consistency.
- Remove partially baked brownies from oven and generously spread pecan pie filling across the entire surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Return pan to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F, watching for minimal jiggling in the center when gently moved.
- Allow brownies to cool completely at room temperature before slicing into decadent squares.
Notes
- Double-check brownie mix package for specific baking instructions to ensure accurate pre-baking time.
- Stir pecan mixture constantly to prevent burning and achieve perfect caramel-like consistency.
- Use a candy thermometer for precise filling temperature control if you want consistent results every time.
- Grease pan thoroughly to prevent brownies from sticking and ensure easy removal after cooling.
