📋 Ingredients:
For the Brownie Layer:
- 🍫 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 🧂 Pinch of salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
For the Cookie Dough Filling:
- 🧈 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 🍬 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 🍬 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 🥄 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 🥛 2 tablespoons milk
- 🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated to kill any bacteria)
- 🍫 1 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 🍫 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
- 🧈 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
📝 Directions:
Prepare the Brownies:
- Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix package instructions. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely.
Prepare the Cookie Dough Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the heat-treated flour, mixing until the dough is smooth and well combined.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Assemble the Brownie Bombs:
- Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into small squares (about 1-inch in size).
- Flatten each brownie square slightly and place a small ball of cookie dough in the center.
- Wrap the brownie around the cookie dough, rolling it into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining brownie squares and cookie dough.
Coat the Brownie Bombs:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers with the vegetable oil or shortening (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the bomb out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Place the coated brownie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill and Serve:
- Once all the brownie bombs are coated, place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
