Calories: 373kcal
Ingredients
- 1 family-size box brownie mix for a 9×13-inch pan, plus ingredients to prepare
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups corn syrup
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 ½ 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 package directions and pour it into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or 10 minutes less than the full bake time listed on the box.
- While the brownies bake, whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir in the pecans.
- After the initial bake, remove the brownies from the oven and gently pour the pecan mixture over the top. Spread evenly with a spatula.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25–35 minutes, or until the pecan filling is set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
- Let the brownies cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.
- Once cooled, cut into 20 squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If a family-size brownie mix isn’t available, use two standard 8×8-inch brownie mixes and their listed ingredients.
For added texture, combine chopped and whole pecans in the topping.
For cleaner slices, chill the brownies briefly and cut with a sharp knife.
