Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Base
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions and spoon about 1 tablespoon of brownie batter into each muffin cup. Use a spoon or your fingers to spread the batter to cover the bottom of each cup.

Step 2: Make the Pecan Pie Filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.

Step 3: Assemble the Brownie Bombs
Spoon the pecan pie mixture over the brownie batter in each muffin cup. Fill each cup almost to the top with the pecan pie filling, leaving a little room for the topping.

Step 4: Bake
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the brownie part should come out clean.

Step 5: Cool and Remove
Let the Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs cool in the tin for 10 minutes before gently removing them. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once cooled, garnish each brownie bomb with extra chopped pecans on top for an added crunch. Serve and enjoy the sweet, nutty goodness!

Notes

Use Fresh Pecan Nuts: Fresh, crunchy pecans add the best texture and flavor to the filling.
Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on them while baking to ensure the brownie base stays fudgy and the pecan topping doesn’t get too dry.
Allow to Cool: Let the brownie bombs cool slightly before removing them from the pan to avoid breaking.
