How To Make Pecan Pie Brownies

Once the brownies bake, set aside and get started on the topping.

Add the corn syrup to a bowl.

Next, add the brown sugar.

Add the eggs and vanilla to the bowl.

Pour the melted butter into the bowl and mix everything together. The melted butter always brings out the smell of the other ingredients and it’s such a great scent to add to the kitchen.

Who needs candles when you have all of this deliciousness?

Finally, add the pecans to the bowl and stir until they are completely covered. Mmm…

Spread the pecan pie filling mixture over the brownies.

Be gentle as you spread because you can tear the brownies that are still jiggly in the middle of the pan–speaking from experience here. Although, they will still turn out delicious and no one will ever know.

Bake the brownies again for about 25 minutes or until the top starts to candy a little.

The pecan pie brownies cook up so delish. I love the corners since they bake up a little more chewy.

Why do my brownies get hard?

You might be over mixing the brownies. Just mix the brownies enough to combine the ingredients and pour them into the greased dish.

What’s the different between cake and brownie?

Brownies are a more dense dessert, while cakes are usually lighter and fluffier.

What does fudgy brownie mean?

First, they are going to taste amazing, and second, they are more dense, chewier, and richer tasting, as well as a little bit more moist.

These pecan pie brownies are delish, and I know y’all will love them!
