Brownie Base
- 1 batch fudgy brownies (9×13 inch pan), cooled
Filling
Chocolate Coating
- 16 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Garnish
- Prepare the Brownie Crumbs: Once the brownies have fully cooled, crumble them into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork in a large mixing bowl to ensure an even texture for the bombs.
- Combine with Pecan Pie Filling: Add the 2 cups of pecan pie filling to the brownie crumbs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes well combined and moldable, able to hold shape when rolled.
- Form Balls and Freeze: Roll the brownie and pecan pie filling mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze these balls for 30 minutes to firm up for dipping.
- Prepare Chocolate Coating: Stir the vegetable oil into the melted dark chocolate. This will create a smooth, glossy ganache coating suitable for dipping small treats.
- Dip and Garnish: Remove the brownie balls from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball completely into the chocolate mixture, ensuring full coverage. Place the dipped balls back on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle the top with chopped pecans before the chocolate sets.
- Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate the dipped brownie bombs for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate coating is fully firm and set, ensuring they hold their shape when served.
Notes
- Use fully cooled brownies for best texture when crumbling.
- For easier dipping, keep brownie balls well frozen.
- Vegetable oil in the chocolate helps create a smooth and shiny coating.
- Store brownie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Can be made ahead and frozen for longer storage; thaw before serving.
