Start with the brownie mix and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan. You can either make the brownie mix from scratch (click here for the recipe) or start with a boxed mix. The brownie recipe is also listed in the recipe card below.
Bake them for about 25 minutes. They will still be a little gooey on the inside. You aren’t cooking the full amount because you will cook them again once you add the pecan layer.
How To Make Pecan Pie Brownies

Once the brownies bake in the 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan, set aside and get started on the pecan pie mixture topping.
Pecan Layer

Add the corn syrup to a medium 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.

Finally, add the pecans to the bowl and stir until they are completely covered.
The pecan pie filling is gooey and creates candied pecans on top when it’s baking.

Spread the pecan pie filling mixture over the brownies.
TIP: 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.
Bake the pecan pie brownies again for about 25 minutes or until the top starts to candy a little.
