Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 2 cups miniature chocolate chips, divided
- 1 package fudge brownie mix, baked and cooled
- 1 package Candiquik or chocolate almond bark
Directions:
- In a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Add in milk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add flour and a pinch of salt, stirring until a soft cookie dough forms. Fold in 1 cup of miniature chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into scant tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour to firm up.
- Meanwhile, cut the cooled brownies into 1-inch squares. Take a brownie square, flatten it slightly, place a cookie dough ball in the center, and wrap the brownie around it. Repeat with remaining dough balls and brownies. Freeze the wrapped balls for 30 minutes.
- Melt the Candiquik or almond bark according to package instructions. Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place on foil. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
- Chill until the chocolate is set, then store the brownie bombs in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
