STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.

2

In a bowl, mix white sugar, cocoa powder, kosher salt, and melted butter until combined. The texture should look grainy.

3

Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time. Whisk on high speed until the batter is thick, glossy, and smooth.

4

Mix in flour until just incorporated. Evenly spread the brownie batter into the prepared pan.

5

Bake brownie base for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.

6

Increase oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).

7

Prepare the pecan pie filling by whisking brown sugar, salt, vanilla extract, corn syrup, eggs, and melted salted butter until smooth.

8

Fold in pecans, pour the mixture over brownie base, and gently spread evenly.

9

Bake at 350°F for approximately 1 hour until pecan pie filling is almost set. Jiggle should be minimal in the center.

10

Cool completely for 30 minutes. Chill for better results before slicing into 16 squares.
