Description

Celebrate Thanksgiving with the perfect fusion dessert—Pecan Pie Brownies. These rich, fudgy brownies topped with gooey pecan pie filling and crunchy pecans make an unforgettable holiday treat, combining the best of chocolate and nuts for a festive dessert that everyone will love.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of high-quality brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter)
  • 1 cup pecan pie filling
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2 large eggs (if making from scratch)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare your brownie batter according to the instructions on your brownie mix or homemade recipe. Pour into a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  2. Spread the pecan pie filling evenly over the baked brownie layer. Sprinkle chopped pecans and chocolate chips on top if desired.
  3. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the filling sets and bubbles.
  4. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts and presentation. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle additional pecans before baking.
  • Customize with cinnamon or apple pie filling for seasonal variations.
