Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
• 1 cup corn syrup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Make the Brownie Base: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
3. Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
4. Prepare the Pecan Topping: In a bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until smooth, then fold in the chopped pecans.
5. Add the Topping: Once the brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately pour the pecan topping over the warm brownies. Spread it out evenly.
6. Finish Baking: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the topping is set and slightly puffed up. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.
