Chocolate Cookie Dough Bombs (Printer-Friendly Version)

Fudgy brownie bites with soft chocolate chip dough centers and smooth chocolate coating create a rich multi-textured delight.

# What You'll Need:

→ Brownie Base

01 - 1 box (18.5 oz) boxed brownie mix, prepared according to package instructions

→ Cookie Dough Filling

02 - 113 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
03 - 100 g (1/2 cup packed) light brown sugar
04 - 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
05 - 60 ml (1/4 cup) milk
06 - 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
07 - 125 g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
08 - 135 g (3/4 cup) mini semisweet chocolate chips

→ Coating and Garnish

09 - 225 g (8 oz) chocolate candy melts
10 - Sprinkles (optional), as desired

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Prepare the boxed brownie mix according to package directions. Avoid overbaking to retain pliability for wrapping. Allow brownies to cool completely on a wire rack.
02 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes, incorporating air for better texture.
03 - Add milk and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
04 - Gradually blend in all-purpose flour, stirring until just combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips evenly with a spatula.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls with your hands. If sticky, chill dough for 15 minutes. Place formed balls on parchment-lined tray.
06 - Flatten each cooled brownie square slightly. Position one cookie dough ball in the center and wrap the brownie around, sealing edges completely. Roll into smooth balls.
07 - Melt chocolate candy melts according to package directions without overheating. Dip each brownie bomb fully, tapping off excess coating. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
08 - Sprinkle optional decorations over wet chocolate promptly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until chocolate coating sets completely.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Chilling brownie bombs before dipping eases handling. Slightly underbaked brownies prevent cracking during wrapping.
02 - These treats can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
