Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Brownie Layer
In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt, then mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the pie dish and spread evenly.
Step 3: Prepare the Pecan Pie Filling
In another bowl, mix corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
Stir in pecan halves until fully coated.
Step 4: Layer & Bake
Gently pour the pecan mixture over the brownie layer.
Arrange extra pecans on top for a beautiful finish.
Bake for 45-50 minutes (until the center is set but slightly jiggly).
Let it cool completely before slicing (this is crucial for clean cuts!).
