How to Make Pecan Pie Brownie Bombs
Step 1 โ Bake the Brownies
Prepare the brownie mix using water, oil, and eggs according to the box instructions. Bake in a pan and let the brownies cool completely.
Step 2 โ Make the Pecan Filling
In a bowl, mix chopped pecans, caramel sauce, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is coated and sticky.
Step 3 โ Crumble the Brownies
Once brownies are cooled, crumble them into a large bowl until they form fine crumbs.
Step 4 โ Form the Bombs
Take a small amount of brownie crumbs and flatten in your hand. Add a small spoon of pecan filling in the center, then wrap brownie around it and roll into a ball.
Step 5 โ Chill
Place brownie bombs on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes so they firm up.
Step 6 โ Finish
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel before serving.

- Vanilla ice cream
- Coffee

Tips for Making It Perfect
Make sure brownies are fully cooled before crumbling. Warm brownies will be too sticky.
