Instructions

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.

Notes

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.
