Ingredients

Scale

1 box (18 oz.) brownie mix
5 eggs, divided
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and divided
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
For the brownie base, mix the brownie mix with 1 egg and ½ cup melted butter until thick; spread into the prepared dish.
For the pecan filling, whisk together 3 eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, remaining melted butter, and corn syrup; fold in chopped pecans and pour over the brownie base.
For the cream cheese topping, beat softened cream cheese with remaining butter until creamy; add remaining eggs one at a time while mixing thoroughly. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and spoon over the pecan layer.
Bake for 55–75 minutes until the center jiggles slightly but is firm; cool on a wire rack before serving.
