Ingredients:
For the Brownie Layer:
1 box brownie mix (+ ingredients listed on the box) or use homemade:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

2 eggs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the brownie layer:
â If using a brownie mix, prepare according to package instructions and pour into the pan.
â If making homemade brownies, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until combined. Pour into the pan.
3. Pre-bake the brownies for 15-20 minutes, until partially set but still soft in the center.
4. Prepare the pecan pie topping:
a In a bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
â Stir in chopped pecans.
5. Add the pecan layer:
â Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the partially baked brownies, spreading evenly.
6. Bake again for 25-30 minutes, until the pecan topping is set and slightly bubbly.
7. Cool completely before slicing. This helps the layers set properly.
8. Serve & enjoy! Perfect with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
