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
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for topping)
- 3 large eggs (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Make the Brownie Base: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in granulated sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake the Brownies: Bake the brownie layer for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Prepare the Pecan Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, 3 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Add the Topping: Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the baked brownies, spreading it gently to cover the entire surface.
- Finish Baking: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pecan topping is set.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares and serve.
