Make brownies per box directions or your favorite brownie recipe that will fit in an 8x8 baking dish. Let cool completely.
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 6-inch baking dish with cooking spray, add chopped pecans, set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, Karo® Corn Syrup, butter, and salt. Pour over the pecans, tap baking dish a couple times on the counter until pecans rise to the top.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the middle of the pecan filling, is very slightly jiggly, let cool completely.
Cut the hard edges off the brownies and discard. Cut brownies into 16 even pieces. In the palm of your hand, flatten the brownie, place a small amount of the pecan filling in the center, about 1 teaspoon worth (make sure to evenly fill each brownie bomb will filling so you don't run out), wrap the edges of the brownie over the filling. Roll into a ball, making sure all of the filling is covered. Place on a parchment paper lined sheet tray, place in the fridge for 1 hour to set up.
Dip brownie bombs one by one into the melted almond bark, letting excess drip off. Place back onto the parchment lined sheet tray, immediately sprinkle more chopped pecans on top for garnish if desired, do this after each brownie bomb is dipped. Place into the fridge for 5 minutes to harden.
Notes
You can purchase pre-made brownies for this recipe if you like.
If you can't find chocolate almond bark you can use chocolate candiquik or chocolate melting wafers as well.
These need time to set up in the refrigerator before dunking in the chocolate so they don't fall apart when dipping.
These can be frozen, see my tips above.
You can top these with chopped pecans or some white chocolate or another chocolate drizzle as well.
Make sure that your pecan filling is completely set before you stuff these Brownie Bombs, we don't want a mess.
