Ingredients:

For the Brownie Base:

1. 1 box brownie mix (and associated ingredients per box instructions)

For the Pecan Pie Topping:

1. 1/2 cup unsalted butter
2. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
3. 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4. 1/2 cup light corn syrup
5. 2 large eggs
6. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
7. 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8. 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the brownie base. Follow the instructions on your brownie mix box and pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake according to the package instructions but remove from the oven 5 minutes before the bake time is up.
2. While the brownies are baking, prepare the pecan pie topping. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in sugars and corn syrup until fully combined. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Once the sugar mixture has cooled a bit, whisk in eggs, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
4. Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the brownie base, making sure to spread it evenly.
5. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pecan topping is set.
6. Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely before cutting into squares.
