Nut Allergy Warning
This recipe may contain peanuts or other nuts and seeds as one of its ingredients. Please take the appropriate precautions.
Having made this brownie recipe a few times now I like to use a 9×9 baking dish. You will have a little extra pecan pie filling using the quantities listed below so keep that in mind when making this recipe.
The quantity of pecan pie filling included with this recipe works best in a 9×13 baking dish but you will have to double the brownie batter to get the right thickness. Make sure you plan accordingly if you are going to make these awesome brownies.
In addition to the ingredients listed on the recipe card, you will also need the ingredients to make the brownies.
While this may differ from brand to brand, it usually involves eggs, water and vegetable oil. The directions on the brownie package should tell you baking times based on the size and type of baking dish you use.
