Decadent Brownie Pie

Recipe from tasteofhome.com

In this recipe I half the walnuts.  One time I was making this for a friend and ended up not greasing the springform well enough.  Needless to say the end result wasn't pretty.  Here is what I did to save my mistake.  I took the mangled brownie and put it in the food processor.  I pulsed it until it was smooth.  I then rolled the brownie mixture into balls.  I placed them on a jelly roll pan and let them harden up in the freezer.  I then dipped them in milk chocolate(you can use whatever chocolate you have on hand.  The brownie bites tasted great.
