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.

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?
