Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs

 

Let’s walk through a classic, easy-to-follow recipe that home bakers everywhere rely on for rave reviews.

Ingredients

For the brownie base:

  • 1 box of brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, and water as instructed)
  • Or make your favorite homemade brownie batter

For the pecan pie filling:

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For topping:

  • Melted chocolate or chocolate ganache
  • Whole pecan halves for garnish

Instructions

How to Make Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs Step 1: Bake the Brownies

Prepare the brownie batter and bake in a greased 9×13-inch pan or on a parchment-lined sheet for thinner brownies. Allow to cool completely before proceeding. For the bomb shape, brownies should be slightly underbaked to remain soft and pliable.

Step 2: Prepare the Pecan Filling

In a small bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until it forms a sticky, sweet paste. This will be your luscious pecan pie center.

Step 3: Assemble the Bombs

Scoop out spoonfuls of brownie and flatten slightly. Place a small amount of pecan filling in the center and gently roll the brownie around it, forming a ball. If the brownies are too sticky, lightly butter your hands or chill the brownies for easier handling.

Step 4: Dip and Decorate

Dip the brownie bombs in melted chocolate or drizzle generously over the top. Press a pecan half onto each bomb for that classic pie look. Let them set on a parchment-lined tray until firm.

Notes

Tips for Perfect Brownie Bombs

  • Chill for Easier Rolling: Pop the brownies in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up for easier shaping.
  • Use Quality Chocolate: High-quality chocolate or ganache takes these treats from good to great.
  • Customize the Filling: Add a splash of bourbon or a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet twist.
  • Gift-Ready: Place each bomb in a cupcake liner and box them up for the perfect edible gift.
