How to Make Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs

Step 1: Bake the Brownies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the brownie batter according to package or homemade recipe instructions.
3. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake 5 minutes less than directed (to keep them extra fudgy).
4. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into small squares.

Step 2: Make the Pecan Pie Filling

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt.
2. Add the chopped pecans and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the mixture thickens slightly.
3. Remove from heat and let cool until thickened but still scoopable.

Step 3: Assemble the Brownie Bombs

1. Take a brownie square and flatten it slightly in your palm.
2. Scoop 1 teaspoon of pecan pie filling into the center.
3. Wrap the brownie around the filling, rolling it into a ball.
4. Repeat until all bombs are formed, then freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.

Step 4: Coat in Chocolate

1. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
2. Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
3. Place on a parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
4. Drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired.

Step 5: Chill & Serve

1. Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes.
2. Enjoy these gooey, chocolatey delights straight from the fridge or at room temp!
