How to Make Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs
Step 1: Prepare the Brownies
- Bake the brownies according to package instructions or your favorite homemade recipe.
- Let them cool completely, then crumble them into a large bowl.
Step 2: Make the Pecan Pie Filling
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt. Cook until bubbly, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and quickly whisk in the egg yolk. Stir in the chopped pecans and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Brownie Bombs
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of pecan pie filling and roll it into a ball.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of brownie crumbs, flatten it in your hand, and wrap it around the pecan filling. Roll into a smooth ball and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining filling and brownies. Freeze for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Coat in Chocolate
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess drip off, then place back on parchment paper.
- Sprinkle with extra chopped pecans or sea salt for garnish (optional).
Step 5: Let Set & Enjoy!
- Let the chocolate coating set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Drizzle with Caramel Sauce – Extra gooey goodness!
- Dust with Powdered Sugar – For a bakery-style touch.
- Pair with Ice Cream – Vanilla or butter pecan makes the perfect match.
Tips for the Best Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs
- Use Homemade Brownies – Fudgy brownies work best; avoid cakey ones.
- Chill Before Dipping – Freezing helps them hold their shape when coating in chocolate.
- Experiment with Coatings – Try white chocolate or even roll in crushed pecans!
- Make Ahead Friendly – Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
