Gooey Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs are delightful dessert bites that combine the rich flavors of brownies and pecan pie, creating a blissful treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe for an 8×8 pan of brownies, prepared without nuts
- 2/3 cup chopped pecans, plus more for garnish (optional)
- 1 egg
- 1 & 3/4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- Pinch of salt
- 1 package chocolate almond bark, melted
Instructions
- Prepare your brownies according to the instructions on a box mix or your favorite homemade recipe, using an 8×8 pan.
- Let the brownies cool completely.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small, 6-inch baking dish.
- Add the chopped pecans to the dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture over the pecans in the dish.
- Tap the dish on the counter a few times to allow the pecans to rise to the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the filling is just slightly jiggly in the center. Allow it to cool completely.
- Cut the edges off the brownies to create an even texture and slice into 16 equal pieces.
- Flatten a brownie piece in your hand and add about 1 teaspoon of pecan pie filling to the center.
- Wrap the brownie around the filling, rolling it into a ball. Place the bombs on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
- Dip each brownie bomb into melted chocolate almond bark, letting any excess chocolate drip off.
- Optionally, sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top.
- Chill in the fridge for about 5 minutes to harden the chocolate coating.
Notes
- For dietary adjustments, you can use maple syrup instead of corn syrup.
- Dairy-free chocolate can be used for coating if desired.
