Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Pecans:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) dark chocolate
- 1 batch fudgy brownies (9x13 inch pan)
- 1 cup (120 grams) chopped pecans
Pecan Pie Filling:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) pecan pie filling
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
Instructions
- Crush the cooled brownies into fine, uniform crumbs in a mixing bowl, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Incorporate pecan pie filling into the brownie crumbs, stirring thoroughly until the mixture becomes cohesive and easily moldable.
- Using clean hands, roll the mixture into compact 1-inch spheres, placing them carefully on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill the brownie balls for 30 minutes to firm up their structure.
- Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 30-second intervals until smooth and fully liquefied.
- Blend a small amount of vegetable oil into the melted chocolate to enhance its glossy coating and prevent rapid hardening.
- Remove frozen brownie balls from the freezer and carefully dip each one into the chocolate mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Gently place the chocolate-coated balls back onto the parchment paper, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- While the chocolate remains wet, sprinkle finely chopped pecans over the surface for added texture and visual appeal.
- Refrigerate the completed pecan pie brownie bombs for 15 minutes until the chocolate sets completely and becomes firm.
Notes
- Crumble brownies completely to ensure smooth, uniform texture without large chunks for better binding.
- Add a pinch of salt to pecan pie filling to enhance the overall flavor complexity and balance sweetness.
- Freeze balls precisely 30 minutes for ideal chocolate coating consistency and easier handling.
- Experiment with dark or white chocolate coating for different flavor profiles and visual appeal.
