Why Pecan Pie Brownies are Awesome

Imagine biting into a soft brownie with a sweet, nutty topping. Sounds amazing, right? That’s what you get with Pecan Pie Brownies – a perfect mix of chocolate and pecan pie.

What You Need

For this recipe, grab a box of brownie mix that fits a 13×9 inch pan. You’ll also need the ingredients listed on the box. For the pecan topping, get some sugar, light corn syrup, eggs, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans.

How to Make Them

First, heat your oven like the brownie box says. Now, let’s make the pecan topping. In a pot, mix sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Warm it up on the stove, keep stirring. Also, make the brownie batter as the box instructs.

Pour the brownie batter into a greased 13×9 inch pan and bake for 20 minutes. By this time, your pecan mix should be thick. Stir in the pecans and cook a bit more. Then, pour this over your partly cooked brownies. Bake for another 25-30 minutes.

Tips for Perfect Brownies

Want super fudgy brownies? The secret is in the baking time. Don’t overbake! The pecan pie filling will make the brownies moist and gooey.
