Description
Pecan Pie Brownies Chocolate is a delightful dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate brownies and the crunchy sweetness of pecan pie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 18.2 ounce box of brownie mix
- 2 cups pecan halves, roughly chopped
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Flaky sea salt, for optional sprinkle
- 1/2 cup store-bought caramel sauce, for optional drizzle
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9×9-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough parchment on all four sides so the brownies can easily be lifted from the pan.
- Prepare and bake the brownies according to the instructions on the back of the box. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pecans, melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, honey, heavy cream, and salt.
- Transfer the pecan mixture to the cooled brownies. Evenly distribute the mixture to ensure the pecans extend to the corners and outer edges of the brownie layer.
- Return the baking pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven, allow it to cool on a wire rack, and then place it in the refrigerator to let the brownies chill for at least 1 hour.
- Gently lift the brownies from the pan with the parchment paper handles and place the slab on a cutting board. Using a sharp chef’s knife, divide the brownies into 16 portions, sprinkle with the flaky salt, and drizzle with caramel if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate brownie mix.
- Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before adding the pecan topping for best results.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
