Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs bring together two favorite treats in one bite. Imagine a soft core of cookie dough nestled inside a fudgy brownie jacket and then all wrapped in a smooth layer of milk chocolate. They make birthdays brighter and every get-together a little more special. Once you try them you will find they are impossible to resist
Every time I make these for friends people ask for the recipe before they even finish their first bite. They are always the first treat to disappear from the dessert tray
Ingredients
- Brownie mix: one box Use your favorite for a fudgy or cakey base Choose a brand that bakes up moist and rich
- Unsalted butter: room temperature for smooth blending Choose high quality for best flavor
- Brown sugar: adds caramel note Use fresh soft-packed sugar
- Granulated sugar: sweetens and helps with texture make sure it is fine and not clumpy
- Milk: binds the dough Whole milk is best for richness
- Vanilla extract: gives that homemade cookie flavor Use pure vanilla for richness
- All-purpose flour: helps the dough hold shape Use fresh flour for the best results
- Mini chocolate chips: deliver chocolate bursts in every bite Pick a trusted brand for melting and flavor
- Chocolate candy melts: smooth glossy coating Choose good quality melts for easier dipping
- Sprinkles: optional fun finish Add just before the chocolate sets
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies:
- Bake the brownie mix according to package instructions until just set. Cool thoroughly on a rack before handling This prevents crumbling and helps with shaping
- Make the Cookie Dough:
- Cream the softened butter with brown and granulated sugars using a mixer until the mixture looks fluffy and light. Mix in the milk and vanilla until blended. Gradually add flour and mix until you have a soft dough. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips
- Shape the Cookie Dough:
- Using clean hands scoop about one tablespoon of dough per ball. Roll into even balls and set aside on a plate. Chill these briefly for easier assembly
- Assemble the Brownie Bombs:
- Slice the cooled brownies into squares just big enough to wrap around the dough balls. Place a dough ball in the center of a brownie square then gently press and fold the brownie around it Pinch to seal. Repeat with all dough balls
- Coat in Chocolate:
- Melt the candy melts per the package directions until smooth and liquid. Using two forks lower each brownie bomb into the chocolate coating it entirely. Lift out gently then let excess drip off. Place on a parchment-lined tray
- Decorate and Set:
- If using sprinkles scatter them over the chocolate before it sets Refrigerate each tray until the chocolate is fully firm
