1. Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Prepare the Brownies:
– In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until well mixed.
– Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out clean.
3. Make the Pecan Pie Topping:
– While the brownies are baking, prepare the pecan pie topping. In a separate bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
4. Add the Topping:
– Remove the brownies from the oven and pour the pecan pie mixture evenly over the top.
5. Bake Again:
– Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pecan topping is set and golden.
6. Cool and Serve:
– Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting into squares.
