Instructions
-
Prepare the Brownies:
-
Prepare brownies according to the box directions or your favorite recipe for an 8×8 pan. Allow to cool completely.
-
-
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 is slightly jiggly. Let cool completely.
-
-
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.
-
Place on a parchment-lined sheet tray and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
-
-
Coat with Chocolate:
-
Dip each brownie bomb into the melted almond bark, allowing excess to drip off.
-
Place back on the parchment-lined tray and immediately sprinkle with more chopped pecans for garnish (optional).
-
Refrigerate for 5 minutes to harden the chocolate.

Notes
Add Chocolate Chips: Mix mini chocolate chips into the brownie batter for extra chocolatey goodness.
Use Different Nuts: Try walnuts or almonds in place of pecans for a different flavor.
Drizzle More Chocolate: Add an extra drizzle of melted chocolate over the top for more indulgence.
