Ingredients

Brownie Base:

  • 2 boxes of Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Fudge brownie mix
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 cup of canola oil
  • 4 large eggs

Pecan Pie Topping:

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees.
  • Prepare your 13"x9" pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring a smooth baking process and easy brownie removal.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine all pecan pie filling ingredients, excluding the pecans and vanilla. Stir continuously and bring the mixture to a boil.
    1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 3/4 cup light corn syrup, 4 tbsp unsalted sweet cream butter, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 2 large eggs
  • Once boiling, remove from heat. Stir in the pecans and vanilla, ensuring an even distribution. Pour the mix into a bowl, let it cool on the counter for about 10 minutes, then refrigerate for 1 hour. This cooling process will help the topping set just right.
    1 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • As your topping chills, focus on the brownie base. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, blend the brownie ingredients until you achieve a consistent batter.

  • Pour your batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake for 44-47 minutes, ensuring that the brownie is fully baked yet retains its moist, fudgy center.
  • Once baked, allow the brownie to cool until it's comfortable to touch. Transfer the brownie slab to a cookie sheet.
  • Remove your pecan pie topping from the fridge. Evenly spread it over the brownie base.
  • Cut the brownies into squares.
  • Serve and enjoy!
