Description
These Black Forest Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are an irresistible dessert that brings joy to every table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of brownie mix (or homemade brownies, baked and cooled)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional for extra chocolatey flavor)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup flour (heat-treated for safety)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk (or as needed for desired consistency)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries (optional for Black Forest twist)
- 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, melted
- Maraschino cherries for topping
Instructions
- To begin with, bake your brownies according to the instructions on the package or follow your preferred homemade brownie recipe. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely. After cooling, crumble them into a coarse mixture that will serve as the outer layer of your brownie bombs. For an extra rich chocolate experience, consider adding a handful of chocolate chips to the brownie batter before baking.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat these together until the mixture turns light and fluffy, which will give your cookie dough that ideal texture. Gradually add the heat-treated flour, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth. Then fold in the chocolate chips and the chopped maraschino cherries for that authentic Black Forest flavor.
- Now it’s time for assembly! Take a small amount of the crumbled brownie mixture and press it into a flat disk in your palm. Place a generous spoonful of the cookie dough in the center. Carefully wrap the brownie crumbles around the cookie dough, ensuring it is fully enclosed. Once enveloped, roll it gently into a ball shape. Repeat this process until you have made all the brownie bombs.
- Next, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in intervals of 30 seconds, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth and creamy. Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Place the coated bombs onto the prepared parchment-lined tray, allowing them to set.
- Before the chocolate completely hardens, take a maraschino cherry and gently press it onto the top of each brownie bomb. This adds a festive and delicious finishing touch. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Notes
Ensure that the flour is heat-treated to minimize the risk of any bacteria. Use the best quality chocolate chips for enhanced flavor.
