Ingredients

(Makes 12–15 bombs)

For the Cookie Dough:

• ½ cup unsalted butter , softened
• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup mini chocolate chips

For the Brownie Layer:

• 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownie batter )
• 1 egg
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup water

For Coating:

• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate works well )
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (for smooth melting )
• Optional toppings : Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Cookie Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Mix in the vanilla extract.
3. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until fully combined. The dough will be crumbly at first but will come together as you mix.
4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
5. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into smooth balls. Place them on a plate or tray and chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the brownie layer.

2. Prepare the Brownie Layer

1. Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix instructions. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a medium bowl, prepare the brownie batter by combining the brownie mix, egg, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until smooth.
3. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake as directed. Allow the brownies to cool completely before handling.

3. Assemble the Brownie Bombs

1. Once the brownies are cool, crumble them into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor.
2. Take one chilled cookie dough ball and press it gently into the palm of your hand to slightly flatten it. Wrap a small amount of brownie crumbs around the cookie dough ball, shaping it into a smooth sphere. Repeat with the remaining dough and crumbs.
3. Place the assembled bombs on a plate or tray and chill them in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up.

4. Coat the Bombs

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
2. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the bomb back on the tray.
3. Immediately add optional toppings like sprinkles, crushed nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt before the chocolate hardens.

5. Chill and Serve

1. Place the coated brownie bombs in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to set the chocolate.
2. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Tips for Success

• Use Pasteurized Egg : If you’re concerned about raw eggs in the cookie dough, use pasteurized eggs or substitute with a store-bought edible cookie dough.
• Prevent Sticky Hands : Lightly grease your hands with cooking spray or dust them with flour when rolling the cookie dough and assembling the bombs.
• Customize the Coating : Use white chocolate, milk chocolate, or even a mix of both for a fun twist.
• Make Mini Bombs : For smaller portions, use teaspoon-sized scoops of cookie dough and less brownie crumb per ball.
• Gluten-Free Option : Use gluten-free flour for the cookie dough and a gluten-free brownie mix.
