Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • 1 recipe 8×8 pan brownies (without nuts)

  • 2/3 cup chopped pecans, plus more for garnish (optional)

  • 1 egg

  • 1 & 3/4 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 1/3 cup Karo® Corn Syrup

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 package chocolate almond bark, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies:
    Prepare brownies according to the box directions or your favorite recipe for an 8×8 pan. Allow to cool completely.

  2. Prepare the Pecan Filling:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-inch baking dish with cooking spray and add the chopped pecans. Set aside.
    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, Karo® Corn Syrup, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture over the pecans in the prepared baking dish. Tap the dish a few times to help the pecans rise to the top.
    Bake for 20 minutes, until the middle of the pecan filling is slightly jiggly. Let cool completely.

  3. Assemble the Brownie Bombs:
    Trim the hard edges off the brownies and discard. Cut the brownies into 16 even pieces. Flatten each piece with your hand, then place about 1 teaspoon of the pecan filling in the center. Wrap the edges of the brownie around the filling and roll into a ball, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed. Place on a parchment-lined sheet tray and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.

  4. Coat with Chocolate:
    Dip each brownie bomb into the melted almond bark, allowing any excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined tray and immediately sprinkle with more chopped pecans for garnish, if desired. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to harden the chocolate.
