“I don’t know about you, but I think desserts are just so much more fun when they are served miniature sized. Not only are these mini pecan pies extremely easy to make, but they’re also a great dessert that people can just grab and enjoy.
These Mini Chocolate Pecan Pies are a simple, yet elegant dessert. Salty pecans, chocolate chips, gooey brown sugar filling, and an easy crust. Perfect for your holiday celebrations!” – Audrey

- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3 eggs whisked
- 2 Tbsp butter melted (dairy-free use Earth Balance)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or dairy-free chocolate chips
- 1 package (7.5 oz) Chebe All-Purpose Bread Mix
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 eggs whisked
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 Tbsp ice cold water
- 4 Tbsp frozen butter grated (dairy-free use Earth Balance)
-
Preheat oven to 350F. In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, cinnamon, pure vanilla extract and salt until blended.
-
In a large bowl combine Chebe mix, sugar, eggs, oil and water. Stir with a large spoon to combine.
-
Once the dough ingredients are combined, using a grater, grate the 1/2 stick of frozen butter into the dough. Use your hands to lightly knead the mixture into a ball.
-
Spray a (12 cup) muffin pan with cooking spray.
-
Pull a piece from the dough ball and roll into a 2-inch ball (size of golf ball) and place in the muffin pan. Repeat, filling each muffin cup.
-
Press the dough balls down into the muffin cups and up the sides to make a mini pie crust.
-
Add 1 heaping teaspoon full of chopped pecans into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the pecans with mini chocolate chips (optional). Pour 2 tablespoons of filling mixture over the pecans.
-
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and cool. (Take a knife and gently cut around the edges to help remove the pies easily.) Now enjoy!
