Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs

There’s something undeniably special about the fusion of two classic desserts into one heavenly creation. Enter: Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs. These delightful treats marry the rich, fudgy goodness of brownies with the irresistible sweetness of pecan pie filling, all enrobed in a shell of smooth chocolate almond bark. Each bite is a symphony of flavors and textures, sure to leave your taste buds singing.

Let’s dive into the recipe and unleash the magic:

Ingredients:

• 1 recipe 8×8 pan brownies, with no 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

Directions:

1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Start by baking a batch of your favorite brownies in an 8×8 baking dish, following the recipe on the box or your trusted homemade version. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely.
2. Create the Pecan Pie Filling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-inch baking dish and evenly spread the chopped pecans on the bottom. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, Karo® Corn Syrup, melted butter, and salt until well combined. Pour this mixture over the pecans in the baking dish, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the filling is slightly jiggly in the middle. Let it cool completely.
3. Assemble the Brownie Bombs: Trim the edges of the cooled brownies and discard them. Cut the brownies into 16 even pieces. Take each piece and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the pecan filling into the center of each flattened brownie piece. Carefully wrap the edges of the brownie over the filling, forming a ball. Ensure that the filling is completely covered by the brownie. Place the assembled brownie bombs on a parchment-lined sheet tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
4. Coat with Chocolate Almond Bark: Once the brownie bombs are chilled and firm, it’s time to coat them in luscious chocolate almond bark. Dip each brownie bomb into the melted almond bark, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated bombs back on the parchment-lined tray. For an extra touch of elegance and flavor, sprinkle some additional chopped pecans on top before the chocolate sets. Refrigerate the bombs for about 5 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden.

Voilà! Your Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs are ready to steal the show at any gathering or simply satisfy your sweet cravings. These bite-sized delights perfectly balance the richness of chocolate with the nutty sweetness of pecans, creating a dessert experience that’s truly unforgettable.
