Ingredients

For the Brownie Layer:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ tsp salt

For the Pecan Pie Topping:

1 cup light corn syrup

½ cup brown sugar, packed

3 large eggs

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan and line with parchment paper.

For the brownies: whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.

Spread batter in pan and bake 20–25 minutes, until just set. Let cool slightly.

For the topping: whisk corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir in chopped pecans.

Gently pour pecan mixture over brownie layer and spread evenly.

Return to oven and bake 25–30 minutes, until topping is golden and set.

Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Add chocolate chips to the brownie batter for extra indulgence.

Replace 1 tbsp corn syrup with bourbon for a boozy twist.

Walnuts or mixed nuts can be substituted for pecans.

Sprinkle with sea salt after baking for a sweet-salty finish.

Slice after fully cooled for clean layers.
