Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press evenly into a parchment-lined 9×9-inch pan. Chill while preparing filling.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
Add Mix-ins: Fold in chopped pecans and chocolate chips.
Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Optionally top with extra pecans. Bake for 35–40 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
Cool & Top: Let cool completely. Add ganache drizzle, chocolate chunks, and whole pecans if desired.
Chill & Serve: Chill until fully set. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Make it extra fudgy with a dark chocolate ganache topping.
For a twist, try bourbon instead of vanilla extract.
Keeps well refrigerated for up to 5 days.
