Ingredients
- 1 package mini phyllo pastry cups
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange the mini phyllo pastry cups on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Roughly chop the pecans and gently fold them into the sugar mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully spoon the pecan filling into each mini phyllo cup, filling them about 3/4 full to prevent overflow during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the bites cool completely on a wire rack for approximately 15 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Using a small spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled pecan pie bites in a decorative pattern.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving or storing.
- Store the Chocolate Drizzle Pecan Pie Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- For perfect phyllo cups, ensure they're at room temperature before filling to prevent cracking.
- When melting chocolate, use low power in the microwave and stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Use a piping bag or a small spoon with a pointed tip for a more precise chocolate drizzle.
- If the pecan filling seems too runny, add a tablespoon of flour to help it set.
- For extra flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty profile.
- Let the bites cool completely before drizzling chocolate to prevent melting and smearing.
- These bites can be prepared a day in advance and stored in an airtight container, making them perfect for entertaining.
