If you love pecan pie and you’ve got a thing for brownies, you’ve got to try the ultimate combination dessert and make these Pecan Pie Brownies recipe. They’re a basic fudge brownie that bakes with the gooey pecan pie filling on top. They disappear faster than you can imagine and everyone is going to want the recipe. I love the crunchy and sweet pecans against the chewy fudge brownie. It’s a match made in dessert heaven.

These shortcut Pecan Pie Brownies serve a large crowd! They're made with a store-bought brownie mix bottom and topped with a pecan pie filling.

Pecan pie is a staple in the south and nearby Georgia pecan farms make them a fresh option for our family. I get tired making the same type of pecan pie and mixing it up is always fun. I make these Pecan Pie Brownies for big potluck church dinners and even the kids love them.

They come together quickly and don’t require any specialty kitchen tools. The secret is using a box of brownie mix to save time. Just mix them up, add the topping and bake up a delicious treat. I always turn to this recipe for parties because they’re easy to transport and simply taste great.
