Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly or using mini muffin liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until well mixed, then add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Spoon the brownie batter into each muffin cup, filling them about halfway.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together chopped pecans, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, and one egg until well blended.
  6. Spoon the pecan mixture over the brownie batter in each muffin cup, filling them to the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie base comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the bites cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
