Pecan Pie Brownie Ingredient List
When you’re narrowing down your Thanksgiving dessert list, don’t settle for regular brownies—go for the extra flair with this caramelized pecan glaze. It’s so delicious and uses a lot of simple ingredients!
Boxed Brownie Mix: You will need all the ingredients listed to make the batter on the box. I used a brownie mix with chocolate chips in it, but you don’t have to. Use your favorite! Also, make sure the boxed mix you choose can be baked in an 8×8 pan. You can also make homemade brownies instead of boxed. Unsalted Butter: Makes the topping for the pecan pie brownies rich with buttery, caramel goodness! Corn Syrup: Helps the topping become the right texture. Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness to enhance the nutty pecans. Dark Brown Sugar: Gives a depth of sweet molasses flavor. Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor of the topping. Eggs: To hold everything together. Pinch of Salt: So everything tastes better! Toasted Pecans: For that classic pecan pie nutty goodness.
How to Make Pecan Pie Brownies
This recipe is the best way to upgrade a regular old box of brownie mix. Everyone will be asking for a second piece! Here’s how to put them together:
Does the Type of Box Mix Brownie Matter? The brand doesn’t matter; it’s the size that’s important. Make sure you select a box mix intended to be baked in an 8×8 pan. If your mix is larger than this, there won’t be enough pecan topping to cover it evenly. You may need to double the amount of pecan pie topping for a larger batch of brownies. Add Topping Carefully: Be careful when you spoon the pecan pie topping over the par-cooked brownies. The brownies won’t be baked enough to hold the weight of the pecan topping, which will just sink if it is poured too heavily in one spot. Don’t Overbake! The pecan topping will become hard over the top if you bake it too long. It should be a deep golden brown, but not too dark brown.
