Pecan Brownies Tips

How do you store pecan brownies?

Store brownies in an airtight container for up to 2 days. In the refrigerator, they’ll last up to 5 days, and in the freezer, up to 3 months.

What are some variations of pecan brownies?

This pecan brownies recipe is simple, but you can mix pecans into a boxed mix too (find our best-loved brownie mix brand). Or, make our brownie base and swap out the pecans for your favorite nut, or add sprinkles, caramel syrup or chocolate chips for extra indulgence. Need extra inspiration?

You can! Store the whole, uncut pan of brownies in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and warm them up in the oven before serving with a big scoop of homemade ice cream.
