Ingredients
Brownie layer:
- 1 box of brownie mix
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Cookie dough filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup flour (heat-treated for safety)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk (or as needed for desired consistency)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries (optional for Black Forest twist)
Chocolate coating:
- 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, melted
- Maraschino cherries for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Bake the brownies according to the package instructions or your favorite homemade recipe.
Once cooled, crumble them into coarse pieces and mix in the chocolate chips.
Step 2: Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the heat-treated flour, vanilla extract, and milk to achieve a smooth dough. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped cherries for added flavor.
Step 3: Flatten a small amount of brownie crumbles into a disk.
Place a spoonful of cookie dough in the center and wrap the brownie layer around the dough, forming a ball.
Repeat until all bombs are made.
Step 4: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds.
Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place on parchment paper.
Step 5: Press a maraschino cherry on top of each bomb while the chocolate is still soft.
Let the bombs set completely before serving.
Tips
Chill the cookie dough before wrapping to prevent sticking.
For a thicker chocolate shell, dip twice and let each layer set.
