Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s how you prepare those delectable brownie bombs:
Make your brownies according to the box instructions and let them cool completely. Once cooled, cut them into small squares.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mix is light and creamy.
Add in the milk and vanilla extract, and mix well to combine.
Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, mixing until just incorporated.
Stir in the mini chocolate chips, forming a rich cookie dough.
Roll the cookie dough into small balls about the size of a marble.
Take each brownie square and flatten it, then wrap it around a cookie dough ball, ensuring it’s completely sealed.
Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate candy melts. If using, feel free to sprinkle on some decorative sprinkles for that extra flair.
Place them on a sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until set.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
When serving your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs, let your creativity shine! These treats can be plated elegantly with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce on the side for dipping. They pair fabulously with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. If you’re looking for a fun presentation, try stacking them in a cupcake tower for a party atmosphere!
Storage and Reheating Tips
To keep your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for about a week—if they last that long! If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Wrap each bomb in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Just remember to defrost them in the fridge before serving to enjoy the best texture!
Pro Chef Tips
Here are a few of my favorite cooking tips to ensure your brownie bombs turn out perfect:
- Make sure the brownies are completely cool before wrapping; hot brownies may cause the cookie dough to melt.
- Don’t overmix the cookie dough—as soon as the ingredients come together, stop mixing for a tender bite.
- If you find the chocolate candy melts are thick, you can add a small drizzle of oil to thin them out for easier dipping.
Creative Twists
If you want to get adventurous with your brownie bombs, consider these fun variations:
- Incorporate peanut butter chips into your cookie dough for an extra nutty flavor.
- Swap out the mini chocolate chips for white chocolate or butterscotch chips for a flavorful twist.
- Create a brownie ice cream bomb by choosing ice cream flavors that pair well with chocolate, like mint or cookies and cream, instead of cookie dough.
