Pecan Pie Brownies are easy to make and a wonderful dessert any time of year, but especially around the holidays. The brownies are a decadent and rich treat that you are going to fall in love with.

These are some of the richest and tastiest brownies you will ever eat. The pan of pecan pie brownies will feed a lot of people because they are so rich and you won’t need as big of a piece. Truly.

I love the combination of chocolate and pecan pie. You get the best of both worlds rolled up into one treat.

Plus, these are super easy to make. I made the brownies from scratch, but you can get a brownie box mix if you’re even shorter on time. I have a chocolate brownie recipe here on the blog that you can get started with.

Recipe and Printable Instructions listed below

Start with the brownie mix. You can either make the brownies from scratch (click here for the recipe) or start with a boxed mix. Bake them for about 25 minutes. They will still be a little gooey on the inside.

I’ve also added the brownie recipe to the bottom of this post. You most likely have the ingredients at home.

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 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.
