Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup butter softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • a generous pinch salt
  • 2 cup miniature chocolate chips divided
  • 1 package family-size fudge brownie mix baked & cooled
  • 1 package CandiQuik or chocolate almond bark

Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • 9x13 inch baking pan (for brownies)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or aluminum foil
  • Small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon size)
  • Fork or dipping tools
  • Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler

Method
 

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar; beat until pale and fluffy.
  2. Add milk and vanilla, mixing until fully blended.
  3. Gradually add flour and salt on low speed until a soft dough forms; stir in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips by hand.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and portion out the dough; roll into balls.
  5. Freeze dough balls for 1 hour.
  6. Cut cooled brownies into 1-inch squares, then flatten each square in your palm.
  7. Place a frozen dough ball in the center of the brownie square and wrap it around, sealing it completely.
  8. Freeze assembled bombs for another 30 minutes.
  9. Melt CandiQuik or almond bark according to package directions.
  10. Dip each bomb into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing on a lined sheet.
  11. Sprinkle with remaining mini chocolate chips before the chocolate sets.
  12. Chill until the chocolate shell is firm; store in the fridge or freeze for later.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for better mixing and texture. Don’t overbake brownies; they should be chewy for easier wrapping. For a lighter chocolate coating, thin with a teaspoon of coconut oil if needed. Get creative with toppings like crushed pretzels or sea salt. These brownie bombs can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy!
