Ingredients

1 (18-ounce box) fudge brownie mix plus ingredients listed on box (I used Duncan Hines)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

Preheat the oven according to the brownie mix instructions. Line a 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper, covering the bottom and sides.
Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.
While the brownies bake, lightly beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, and sea salt. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the pecans.
Carefully pour the pecan mixture over the hot, partially baked brownies. Gently spread the pecans evenly if needed.
Set the oven to 325 degrees F, return the pan to the oven, and bake for 30–35 minutes, until the topping is golden and set in the center.
Let the brownies cool completely at room temperature. Once cool, chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours for cleaner slicing.
Remove from the pan using the parchment, slice with a sharp knife, and serve.

Notes

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
You can also freeze the brownies for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before slicing or serving.
