Ingredients
For the Edible Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated to kill any bacteria)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Brownies:
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box, usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey brownies)
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies:
- Preheat your oven and prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Stir in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips if desired.
- Bake the brownies in a 9×13-inch pan as directed. Let them cool completely before cutting into small squares, about 1 inch each.
- Make the Edible Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and milk, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Roll the cookie dough into small balls, about 1 inch each. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 15-20 minutes until firm.
- Assemble the Brownie Bombs:
- Flatten a brownie square in your hand and place a cookie dough ball in the center. Wrap the brownie around the cookie dough, sealing it completely. Repeat with the remaining brownies and cookie dough balls. Place the brownie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 15 minutes until firm.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers with the vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Coat the Brownie Bombs:
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated brownie bombs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the brownie bombs until the chocolate coating is set, about 20 minutes. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Tips for the Best Brownie Bombs
- Heat-Treated Flour: To make the flour safe to eat in raw cookie dough, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, then let it cool completely before using.
- Firm Cookie Dough: Chilling the cookie dough balls before assembling helps keep them firm and easier to work with.
- Storage: Store the brownie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
