Description

Pecan Pie Brownie Bites are an indulgent dessert that combines fudgy brownies with gooey pecan pie filling, all coated in a sweet chocolate almond bark. Perfect for special occasions or a delightful snack, these bite-sized treats are rich in flavor and texture, and easy to make ahead.


Ingredients

1 recipe 8×8 pan brownies (without nuts)

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

1 egg

1 ¾ tbsp granulated sugar

1/3 cup Karo® Corn Syrup

1 tbsp 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 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.

    • 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 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.
