10 - 110 grams light brown sugar, packed
11 - 120 millilitres light corn syrup

13 - 28 grams unsalted butter, melted
14 - 5 millilitres vanilla extract
15 - 1.25 grams salt
16 - 150 grams pecans, chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 23x33-centimetre baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter with chopped semi-sweet chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat.
03 - Whisk granulated sugar and brown sugar into the warm chocolate mixture until fully combined.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract.
05 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture just until combined.
06 - Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges are set; the centre may appear slightly soft.
07 - While brownies bake, whisk together brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans.
08 - Pour pecan mixture evenly over partially baked brownie layer.
09 - Return pan to oven and bake an additional 15–20 minutes, until topping is golden and set.
10 - Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing into squares.

# Extra Information:

01 - Ensure brownies are completely cooled before slicing for clean edges.
02 - For best texture, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
