PERFECT PECAN PIE BROWNIES

PERFECT PECAN PIE BROWNIES

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 box Brownie mix , must have instructions for making in 13×9 pan + ingredients listed on the package

PECAN PIE FILLING:

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups Light Corn syrup
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Pecans, roughly chopped

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Preheat oven according to brownie package instructions.
  • Combine the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter, and vanilla in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat stirring often.
  • Mix brownies according to package instructions.
  • Pour brownie batter into a greased 13×9 inch pan and place in oven to bake for 20 minutes.  * see note about cooking time below
  • As the brownies bake the filling in the saucepan should have thicken enough to coat your spoon (about 15 minutes). Stir the pecans into the mixture and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture reaches the consistency of runny oatmeal. You want it to be loose enough to pour over the brownies but not liquid.
  • When the brownies have finished pre-baking remove them from the oven and pour the pecan pie filling over them spreading it out to cover the brownies completely.
  • Place them back in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling only jiggles slightly in the middle when you move the pan …
