Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients required to prepare as per package instructions, typically eggs, oil, and water)
Pecan Topping
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners to ensure the brownie bites don’t stick.
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix package carefully, usually combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water to make smooth batter.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the prepared brownie batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to leave room for the pecan topping and baking expansion.
- Make the Pecan Topping: In a small bowl, mix together chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined to create a sticky, nutty topping.
- Top the Brownies: Spoon a small amount of the pecan mixture onto each brownie cup, gently pressing it into the batter to adhere and distribute evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. The brownie bites should be set, slightly domed on top, and a toothpick inserted will come out mostly clean indicating doneness.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bites to cool completely in the pan to firm up before carefully removing. Serve these delicious pecan pie brownie bites and enjoy the perfect bite of chocolate and nutty sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure the brownie mix is properly prepared for the best texture — follow the package instructions closely.
- Using paper liners makes removing the brownie bites easier and helps with cleanup.
- Don’t overfill the muffin cups to avoid overflow during baking.
- You can substitute corn syrup with maple syrup or honey, but it may slightly change the texture.
- Store brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These brownie bites can be frozen after baking and cooled for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
