Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated*)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Brownies:
- 1 box brownie mix, plus ingredients required on the box
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smooth melting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies: Bake the brownies according to the package instructions. Let them cool completely, then cut them into small squares.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Stir in the heat-treated flour and salt. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Bombs: Take a small piece of cookie dough, flatten it, and wrap it around a piece of brownie. Roll it into a ball and place it on a parchment-lined tray. Repeat with the remaining dough and brownies. Freeze for 15–30 minutes to firm up.
- Coat in Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Dip each cookie dough brownie ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Place them back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate coating to harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
