How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Making Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs is an enjoyable process. Follow the simple steps below to create these delicious treats.
Ingredients:
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 8 oz chocolate candy coating
Directions:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. Prepare brownie mix as directed. This usually involves whisking together the brownie mix with eggs and oil, just like the package says.
- Pour the brownie batter into a greased baking pan. Make sure it is nicely spread out. Bake as specified on the box. Once baked, let the brownies cool completely. This might take a bit of time, but it’s essential so that the brownie bombs hold together.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened butter, and both sugars (½ cup granulated and ½ cup brown sugar) until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is important to get a nice, soft cookie dough texture.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well. The vanilla gives the cookie dough a lovely flavor that makes it even more delicious.
- Gradually mix in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until it is fully combined. It’s okay if it’s a bit crumbly. Then add 2 tablespoons of milk and stir until a dough forms. If it seems too dry, just add a tiny bit more milk.
- Fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips. These tiny chocolate pieces are a wonderful surprise in every bite!
- Roll the cookie dough into small balls and freeze for 30 minutes. This helps them firm up, making it easier to wrap them in brownies later.
- While the cookie dough balls are freezing, cut the cooled brownies into squares that are slightly larger than the cookie dough balls.
- Flatten each brownie square gently. Place a cookie dough ball in the center, then wrap the brownie around it to fully encase the dough.
- Melt the chocolate candy coating according to package instructions. Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Place the dipped brownie bombs on parchment paper. Allow them to set until the chocolate hardens. This can take a little while, so be patient.
How to Serve Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs is simple! You can place them on a beautiful platter for a special occasion or just set them in a bowl for a casual snack. They are perfect on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

How to Store Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
To store your leftovers (if there are any!), simply place the brownie bombs in an airtight container. They can last at room temperature for a few days, or you can refrigerate them for longer freshness. If you want to keep them even longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to wrap them well in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. When you want to enjoy one, let it sit at room temperature for a bit or warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds!
Tips to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
- Check your brownie mix: Always follow the instructions on the box carefully to ensure perfect brownies.
- Don’t skip the cooling part: Allowing the brownies to cool completely helps them maintain their shape when forming the bombs.
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate coating, the tastier the brownie bombs will be.
- Let’s talk texture: If you prefer a crunchier shell, let the chocolate coating set thoroughly before biting into the brownie bomb.
- Mess-free dipping: Use a fork to dip the brownie bombs into the chocolate coating; this helps keep your hands clean!
Variation
If you want to switch things up, you can try these variations on the basic recipe:
- Nutty Bombs: Add chopped nuts to the cookie dough for a delightful crunch and flavor.
- Brownie Layer: Try adding a layer of flavored brownies, like peanut butter or mint, instead of regular brownies.
- Different Chocolates: Use white chocolate or butterscotch candy coating for a unique and tasty twist!
- Stuffed Brownies: Consider adding caramel or peanut butter in the center of your brownie bomb for an even more indulgent treat!
FAQs
1. Can I use homemade brownie mix instead of box mix?
Absolutely! If you have a favorite brownie recipe, feel free to use that. Just be sure the brownies are fully cooled before you start wrapping them around the cookie dough.
2. How long can these brownie bombs be stored?
You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-5 days. If you refrigerate them, they can last for a week or more.
3. Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of mini ones?
Yes, you can. Regular chocolate chips will work just fine; just remember they might create slightly larger pockets of gooey chocolate, which could affect the overall texture.
4. Can I freeze these brownie bombs?
Yes, these brownie bombs freeze well! Just ensure they are well wrapped and stored in an airtight container. Let them thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before enjoying.
5. What should I do if my cookie dough is too sticky?
If your cookie dough feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency.
Enjoy making and indulging in these delightful Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs! They’ll surely bring sweetness to any day.
