How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup softened butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups miniature chocolate chips, divided
- 1 package fudge brownie mix, baked and cooled
- 1 package Candiquik or chocolate almond bark
Directions:
-
Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and a pinch of salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Shape the dough into balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about an hour until firm.
-
Wrap with Brownies: Wrap each chilled dough ball with a piece of the cooled brownie, pressing to adhere. Return to the freezer for 30 minutes.
-
Coat with Chocolate: Melt the Candiquik or chocolate almond bark according to package instructions. Dip the brownie-wrapped dough balls into the melted chocolate, coating them fully. Place the coated bombs on a foil-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips, and chill until set.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy the burst of gooey chocolate chip cookie dough enveloped by a fudgy brownie shell!
