Instructions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your brownies come out easily once baked.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until well blended.
3. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until frothy and combined.
4. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
6. While the brownies cool, prepare the pecan pie topping. In a clean bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
7. Gently fold in the pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
8. Carefully pour the pecan topping over the warm brownie base, spreading it evenly across the surface.
9. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pecan topping is set and golden brown.
10. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
