How to Make Brownie Bombs
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 10 milk chocolate truffles
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- In a large bowl, combine the oil, melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk until fully combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, mixing until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a spatula.
- Roll the dough into 2-inch (5 cm) balls. Press a chocolate truffle into each ball and wrap the dough around to cover the truffle completely.
- Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the dough is slightly firm to the touch.
- Once baked, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, reheating in the microwave for 20 seconds before eating.

Tips to Make Brownie Bombs
