Ingredients
Scale
1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions and pour into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
While the brownies bake, prepare the pecan pie topping by whisking together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
After 20 minutes, remove the brownies from the oven and carefully pour the pecan mixture evenly over the partially baked brownies.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
Use dark corn syrup for a deeper flavor if preferred.
Let cool completely to allow the topping to set for clean slices.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
