These pecan pie brownies are the ultimate holiday season dessert.
Pecan pie is one of my family’s favorite desserts around Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It’s a treat reserved for this special time of year and we all really look forward to having it. Especially me!
Merging this classic dessert with a box of premade brownie mix takes all the flavors you love about both and combines them in a new, fun way.
They’re fudgy, Oi gooey, and the perfect sweet splurge. ?
This is a nice spin on both of these classics that’s always a huge hit at any party. People seem to really love the unique flavor combination.
I’ve made these for many Thanksgiving and Christmas’s with rave reviews from family and friends. I always get a lot of compliments and asked for the recipe.
The boxed brownie mix is a great shortcut that makes them super easy to put together, too.
Convenient, easy to make recipes like this are lifesavers around the holidays when there’s just so much to be done.
I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and friends do.

Pecan Pie Brownies Ingredients
- 1 box of premade brownie mix (plus the ingredients to make it)
- Dark Corn Syrup
- Brown Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Pinch of Salt
- Chopped Pecans
Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 350°
First, make the brownie mix according to the directions on the back of the package and place the batter into a 9 x 13” baking pan.
Now, bake the brownies until they are just done or very slightly underbaked. This can be a tricky because every box time is different. I’d recommend 5-10 minutes less than the box suggested.
Then, in a medium sized bowl, stir together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, pinch of salt, and chopped pecans until everything is evenly combined.
Next, pour the pecan mixture on top of the mostly baked brownies and spread it out until it covers the surface evenly.
Now, place it back into the oven for another 15 minutes.
Finally, let the pecan pie brownies cool completely, serve and enjoy!
