With Thanksgiving drawing near, we wanted to share a delicious dessert that is incredibly easy and quick! Perfect for any holiday get together and everyone will love! As a side note, these brownies are divine on their own, but to take them next level just add some vanilla ice cream!
My mom found this recipe here, but I included all the details below as well!
Pecan Pie Brownies
Ingredients:
Brownies (just follow the back of the box!). This typically includes:
- 1 box brownie mix
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Pecan Pie Topping:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups whole pecans
Directions
For Brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- In a large bowl, make the brownie mix according to package instructions
- Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with non stick cooking spray
- Pour the brownie mix into the casserole dish and spread evenly with a rubber spatula
- Bake as directed, but remove from oven when 10 minutes are left (you’ll be putting these back in the oven in a sec, so it’s okay if they don’t seem fully cooked).
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes
For the Pecan Pie Topping
- While the brownies are baking combine all pecan pie filling ingredients except the pecans in a medium sauce pot and whisk
- Set over medium heat and continue to whisk for about 10-15 minutes. The butter will fully melt. The mixture will bubble and rise during whisking and then fall back down as it begins to caramelize
- Once the mixture is thick and jelly like in consistency, and a medium honey in color, remove from heat and add the pecans in
- Use a rubber spatula to fold the pecans in
- Pour the pecan mixture onto the baked brownies and spread evenly
- Bake again at 350 F for another 25 minutes. The pecan pie filling will flatten and have small bubbles when finished baking
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting to serve
Like we mentioned above, these are amazing on their own, but a little vanilla ice cream is perfection with them! Perfect fall dessert that everyone will love! If you end up making, tag me on Instagram- we always love seeing what you are baking!
