Pecan Pie Brownies
Pecan Pie Brownies bring together two classic desserts, in one easy to make bar. Fudgy chocolate brownies are topped with pecan pie filling for an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
Brownie Base
- 1 9x9 size boxed brownie mix plus ingredients called for
Pecan Pie Topping
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9X9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Prepare the brownie mix (or recipe) as directed on the box. Stir by hand, just until mixed. Spread batter into prepared baking pan.
- Bake the brownies for half of the recommended baking time plus 5 additional minutes to begin. While the brownies are baking, prepare the pecan pie topping.
Pecan Pie Topping
- In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Then mix in the eggs. After eggs are mixed in, stir in chopped pecans.
- When brownies are done with their baking time of “half the recommended, plus five” pull them out. If they still look wet and completely uncooked, return them to the oven for 3-5 minutes, then check again. While they won’t be fully cooked, the top should be starting to set up. Pour the pecan pie topping evenly over the brownies.
- Place brownies, with pecan pie topping, back into the oven and continue baking for an additional 25-30 minutes. The top should be setting up before you remove from the oven, it should not jiggle easily.
- Allow brownies to cool completely on a cooling rack. Cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. For easiest cutting, place in the fridge for two hours or more prior to cutting.
