Ingredients
1 box (18-ounce) fudge brownie mix
Ingredients for brownie mix (usually oil, water, eggs)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Prepare the brownie batter according to the box mix instructions and spread evenly into the prepared pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold the chopped pecans into the sugar mixture.
Pour the pecan mixture carefully over the brownie batter layer, spreading it out to the edges.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is golden and slightly firm to the touch.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
Ensure your brownie base is spread completely level for even baking. Allow the brownies to fully cool before slicing to ensure those beautiful, clean layers. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months for long-term enjoyment.
