Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (100g) chopped pecans
- 8 ounces (225g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Craft dense, fudgy brownie base by melting butter over low heat, then incorporating sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Gently fold in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
- Prepare oven to 350F and line 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal.
- Pour brownie mixture into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until toothpick emerges mostly clean.
- Allow brownies to cool completely in pan, creating a rich, compact foundation.
- Whisk corn syrup, sugars, melted butter, egg, and vanilla in separate bowl until smooth and glossy.
- Fold chopped pecans into syrup mixture, creating decadent filling with nutty texture.
- Cut cooled brownies into small, uniform squares approximately 1-inch in size.
- Roll each brownie square into compact ball using hands or small cookie scoop.
- Generously coat each brownie ball in pecan pie filling, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place coated balls on parchment-lined tray, letting them set for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil in microwave, stirring between 20-second intervals until silky smooth.
- Submerge each pecan-coated brownie ball into melted chocolate, ensuring thorough coating.
- Return chocolate-drenched bombs to parchment sheet, allowing chocolate to solidify at room temperature or in refrigerator.
- Serve when chocolate has completely hardened, storing leftovers in sealed container.
Notes
- Chill the brownies completely before shaping to ensure they hold their ball form without crumbling.
- Use a light touch when coating to prevent brownie balls from falling apart during the dipping process.
- Create uniform sizes by using a small cookie scoop for consistent brownie balls.
- Experiment with different chocolate coatings like dark or white chocolate for variety in flavor and appearance.
