Your wish is now a reality. I was sure this experiment was not going to work, but it worked really, really well, and these fudgy brownies with a pecan pie layer baked on top are incredibly delicious.

It’s simple to make a pan of brownies and add a thin layer of sticky pecans to the top, but that’s really more of a brownie with pecan pie frosting. It’s also easy to add a nice thick layer of pecan pie filling to the top of a pan of brownies, except that makes it very challenging to get nice clean, square cuts. Despite that, I tried anyway. Things started off pretty well, but about halfway through the bake I was convinced my attempt was going to end in dry, over-baked failure. Of course, we never let the food win, so I just kept baking, and baking, until the top was finally set. As I waited for the brownies to chill, I prepared myself for the inevitable disappointment, but somehow, someway, they ended up being perfect. I can’t ever remember being more surprised at how a recipe turned out, which is why I really do hope you give these a try soon. Enjoy!

CHEF JOHN’S PECAN PIE BROWNIES 4.2 (26) Prep Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 20 mins Cool Time: 30 mins Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins Servings: 16 Save Rate Print Share * * * * INGREDIENTS Brownie Base: * 1 cup white sugar * 7/8 cup cocoa powder (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) * 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt * 10 tablespoons hot melted butter * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 2 large eggs * 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Pecan Pie Filling: * 1 cup brown sugar * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 1/2 cup light corn syrup * 2 large eggs * 1/2 cup salted butter, melted * 2 1/2 cups chopped pecans DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with enough parchment to overhang on all sides, and oil the parchment. CHEF'S NOTE: A 9x9-inch pan can be used, but that may reduce baking time, so check for doneness sooner than times given. 2. To make brownie batter, combine white sugar, cocoa powder, kosher salt, and 10 tablespoons melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix with an electric hand mixer or whisk until combined. The mixture will look grainy, but that’s okay. 3. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 egg, and mix with a whisk or electric hand mixer until combined. Again, the mixture will look grainy. Add the second egg, and continue mixing on high speed until a smooth, thick, glossy batter is formed. 4. Add flour and mix on low speed until flour just disappears. Use a spatula to mix in any flour from the side of the bowl; spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Tap pan gently on the counter to level the brownie base. 5. Bake brownie base for 20 minutes. Remove to cool on a wire rack while making pecan pie filling. 6. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). 7. For pecan pie filling, combine brown sugar, salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, corn syrup, 2 eggs, and melted salted butter in a bowl; whisk until smooth. Stir in pecans; pour filling over brownie base and spread evenly; tap pan gently on counter to level the filling. 8. Bake in the preheated oven until pecan pie filling is almost fully set, about 1 hour. If dish is shaken gently from side to side, there will be a very slight jiggle in the center. 9. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. For best results, cover and chill before cutting. Lift brownies from the dish using parchment overhang. Cut into 16 2x2-inch squares.

Followed the directions explicitly. Let them cool for 30 minutes, then into the refrigerator for about an hour.When I began to cut them into pieces, they crumbled. Just about every one other just crumbled. The flavor and texture is fantastic, but why did they all fall apart Chef? What was my error?Gave them a 4 star for the flavor, but the crumbling is not good.

Taste is great but they crumble when tying to slice! If not presentable for company I will not make again ! No matter how good won’t make again Read More Helpful (0) Allrecipes Member 12/31/2023 I got lazy and used box mix brownies but they still turned out pretty well, followed the directions otherwise. They weren't too sweet and were very gooey, even though they were in the oven so long.I used an instant read thermometer and checked the pecan pie filling done-ness that way. Google says pecan pie is done at either 185° or 200°. I temped mine at 50 min and the temp was 210°. Sure enough, only the slightest jiggle in the center. I will cook it for less time next time, try to keep the edges from getting rock hard.I attached a bad picture in poor lighting of my final product, displayed artfully on a paper plate. Read More Helpful (1) marc827maccom 12/15/2023 I’ve made these several times and they’ve always been a hit. We have a 9x9 pan and reduced final cook by 10 min.

Read More Helpful (0) Cecilia Donarski 12/02/2023 I have never found Chef John to fail me. Literally every recipe I have tried has been fantastic, and this is no exception.These came out amazing - a perfect contrast in texture and flavor of the brownie and the pecan pie topping. I was forced to use to bread loaf pans instead of an 8 by 8 because they were all I had available. I cooked the brownie base for 20 minutes and the base with topping for 45 minutes. I let them cool 30 minutes and then put them in the fridge. They came right off of the parchment that I had sprayed with butter non-stick. They also cut nicely. I did however use chopped pecans that were on the smaller size (not roughly chopped, but with a nut grinder). Anyway - I fully expect I will gain 5 pounds this week, and it will be 100% worth it! Read More Helpful (1) Mary Farrell Murphy 12/02/2023 I won't lie, I used a box brownie mix. I stayed with the gooey recipe. In the future I will make it more cake like. It was a HUGE hit on Thanksgiving. Read More Helpful (1) Allrecipes Member 12/01/2023 So rich, definitely give them more than a half hour to cool before cutting. Other wise you'll end up with a pecan brownie crumble Read More Helpful (2) Allrecipes Member 11/29/2023 These are dense, fudgy brownies with an almost dark chocolate flavor due to the amount of cocoa. I cooked the brownie base 20 minutes and pecan pie topping for an hour. These brownies are easy to make, but the critical step is cooling the brownie adequately before cutting. I cooled them for 12 hours in the refrigerator before cutting. Six days later the leftover brownies tasted great too. Read More Helpful (3) Allrecipes Member 11/26/2023 As a lover of chocolate and pecan pie these hybrid brownies are a huge hit for me. Right away one of my personal favorite homemade desserts. The textures are sublime with the glossy, fudgy brownie and the rich, soft candied pecans. Neither the brownie or the pecan pie filling are too sweet, the addition of the salt is subtle and adds a layer of complexity.I followed the instructions exactly. I checked the final bake at 45 minutes and they were already done with just barely a jiggle in the middle. Then they went in the fridge overnight. 👌Super easy and absolutely fantastic. I'll be making these for many fall and holiday occasions.
