Pecan Pie Brownies

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
• 7 eggs (divided)
• 1/2 stick butter
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 box brownie mix
• 1/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup oil
• 2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, 4 eggs, butter and vanilla. Stir often.
3. In the meantime, in a large bowl, combine brownie mix, remaining 3 eggs, water and oil. Transfer mixture to a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for about 15 minutes.
4. While brownies are baking, continue stirring pecan filling until thick enough to coat your spoon. Stir in pecans and cook about 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove brownies from oven and top with pecan filling. Return to oven and bake about 25 minutes.
