Brownies are a delightful fusion of rich, chocolatey brownies and the classic flavors of pecan pie. This dessert combines the best of both worlds, making it a perfect treat for any occasion, especially during the holidays.

Key Ingredients:
– Brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter)
– Chopped pecans
– Brown sugar
– Butter
– Corn syrup
– Eggs
– Vanilla extract
Directions:
1. **Preheat and Prepare**: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. **Bake the Brownies**: Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions or your favorite recipe. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes. Let it cool on a wire rack while you prepare the pecan pie topping.
3. **Make the Pecan Pie Topping**: In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
4. **Combine and Bake**: Pour the pecan mixture over the partially baked brownies, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to level the filling. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pecan pie filling is almost fully set.
5. **Cool and Serve**: Allow the brownies to cool completely before lifting them out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy this decadent treat!
