🛒 Ingredients:
For the Brownie Base:
- 🍫 1 box brownie mix (or your favorite homemade recipe)
- 🥚 Ingredients as required by your brownie mix (usually eggs, oil, and water)
For the Pecan Pie Topping:
- 🌰 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- 🍬 1 cup light corn syrup
- 🍬 1 cup packed brown sugar

🔥 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Brownie Base:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions or your favorite recipe. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 15 minutes (not fully baked).
2️⃣ Make the Pecan Pie Topping:

3️⃣ Combine & Bake:
