Flour really is a star here I love the chew it gives to the dough It always reminds me of weekend baking sessions with my sister in my childhood kitchen I can still picture us sneaking bits of dough long before anything hit the oven

Storage Tips

Store brownie bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days to keep them fresh and fudgy. If you want to save them for later freeze them in single layers between parchment sheets. Let them come to room temperature before serving for the best texture

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap plant-based butter and a dairy-free milk for a vegan treat. Gluten-free flour works well in the dough Just be sure to use a cup-for-cup variety for best results. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of mini chips but chop them up for even spreading in the dough

Serving Suggestions

Stack these on a tiered cake stand or nestle them into paper candy cups for an impressive holiday platter. Sometimes I drizzle a bit of extra melted white chocolate on top for contrast Serve chilled or at room temperature

Baking Backstory

Though brownie bombs are a modern twist on classic flavors the idea of nesting sweet surprises goes way back in American baking. Variations of chocolate coated balls have been holiday favorites for generations but this update with cookie dough in the middle is a recent internet sensation Every bite brings nostalgia and new excitement
