Brownie Ingredients

1 box brownie mix for 9x13 pan
Ingredients listed on brownie mix package

Pecan Pie Layer

1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
4 eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups pecans chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven according to brownie package instructions.
Mix brownie batter according to package instructions.
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter, and vanilla in a small saucepan and cook over low-medium heat stirring often.
Pour brownie batter into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish and place in oven to bake for half of the total bake time on your brownie package instructions.
As the brownies bake, the filling in the saucepan should have thickened enough to coat your spoon (about 15 minutes).
Stir the chopped pecans into the mixture and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes more. (It should be a pourable thick consistency, but not liquid.)
When the brownies are done with their pre-baking, pour the pecan mixture over the top and gently spread it around to all of the edges.
Place the baking dish back in the oven to bake an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pecan pie layer is mostly set but still a little jiggly.
Cool completely before serving.
