An Entire Pecan Pie?
Yep, you read that right…you chop up an entire pecan pie and you fold that right into the brownie batter. Sounds crazy, I know…but the sweet filling of the pecan pie does magical things to the brownie batter as it bakes creating an extra fudgy texture.
PRO TIP: Serve warm with ice cream. You will NOT be disappointed.
Can You Use A Boxed Brownie Mix?
Yes absolutely. If you’re looking to cut corners you can absolutely make this with a boxed brownie mix. I suggest using a “Family Sized” brownie mix, which is 18.4- ounces and bake it in a 9×9 sized pan. This will make sure your brownies are thick enough for adding the pie! Whether or not you make the recipe as written, or use a boxed mix, you CAN bake these in a 9×13 if you prefer a thinner brownie!
How To Store These Brownies…
Simply store these airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days. I even like these best if you make them the day before and wait to cut them up right before serving! It seems to make them extra fudgy this way! You can also freeze these airtight for up to 30 days.
