1 box of brownie mix family size plus the ingredients listed on the back of the box
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ cups light corn syrup
4 eggs
¼ cup butter melted
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a 13x9 inch metal baking pan with nonstick baking spray.
Prepare brownies as per the package instructions on the back of the box. Bake at 350 degrees for half of the baking time listed.
1 box of brownie mix
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine butter, sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla until completely mixed.
1 cup white sugar, 1 ½ cups light corn syrup, 4 eggs, ¼ cup butter, 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Use a large spoon to add the chopped pecans.
2 cups chopped pecans
Remove the brownies from the oven.
Spoon the pecan pie mixture on top of the brownies.
Use an offset spatula even the top layer of the filling.
Return the brownies to the oven.
Continue to bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes. (The filling will jiggle in the middle as you move the baking pan.)
Take out of the oven.
Set aside to cool completely and serve.

Use parchment paper on the bottom of the baking dish for less clean-up.
For the boxed brownies you can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter at a 1:1 ratio.
Substitute milk or heavy cream instead of water at a 1:1 ratio for the brownies for an even richer flavor.
You may use maple syrup or honey in place of light corn syrup if you don't have any to hand. Replace 1 cup of white sugar with 3/4 cup maple syrup, 3/4 cup honey, 2/3 cup agave, or 1 tsp stevia.
