Step 1

Preheat oven according to brownie package instructions.

Step 2

Mix brownie batter according to package instructions.

Step 3

Combine the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter, and vanilla in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat stirring often.

Step 4

Pour brownie batter into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish and place in oven to bake for 15 minutes (half of the total bake time on your brownie package instructions).

Step 5

As the brownies bake the filling in the saucepan should have thicken enough to coat your spoon (about 15 minutes).

Step 6

Stir the chopped pecans into the mixture and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes more. (It should be a pourable consistency but not liquid.)

Step 7

When the brownies are done with their pre-baking, pour the pecan mixture over the top and gently spread it around to all of the edges.

Step 8

Place the baking dish back in the oven to bake an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pecan pie layer is mostly set but still a little jiggly.

Step 9

Cool completely before serving.
