How to Make Pecan Pie Brownie Bites Step-by-Step<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start by preheating your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease a mini muffin tin well or use mini cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
Prepare your brownie batter according to the box instructions or your favorite homemade recipe. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup\u2014just enough to cover the bottom. Bake for 10 minutes to partially set the brownie base.
While that\u2019s baking, mix together your pecan pie topping: whisk the brown sugar, corn syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until smooth. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Once the brownies are partially baked, remove the tin from the oven and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the pecan pie mixture on top of each partially baked brownie cup. Return to the oven and bake for another 12\u201315 minutes, or until the pecan topping is bubbling and slightly firm.
Let them cool in the pan for 10\u201315 minutes before removing. Cool completely on a wire rack, then drizzle with chocolate if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n
