Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownies:
- 1 box of your favorite brownie mix (or homemade recipe)
- Ingredients listed on the brownie mix (usually eggs, oil, and water)
For the Cherry Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (as needed)
- Pinch of salt
For the Coating:
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles or extra chopped cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies:
- Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix instructions. Grease a baking dish and prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box or recipe.
- Bake the brownies and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the brownies into small pieces and set aside.
- Make the Cherry Cookie Dough:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add in the flour and a pinch of salt, mixing until combined.
- Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a soft, doughy consistency.
- Fold in the chopped maraschino cherries and mini chocolate chips. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
- Assemble the Brownie Bombs:
- Take a small scoop of the chilled cherry cookie dough and roll it into a ball.
- Flatten a piece of crumbled brownie in your hand and wrap it around the cookie dough ball, sealing it completely.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and brownies.
- Place the brownie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Coat with Chocolate:
- Melt the chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20-30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place them back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Garnish with sprinkles or extra chopped cherries while the chocolate is still wet, if desired.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the brownie bombs until the chocolate coating is set. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy the decadent explosion of flavors!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate for coating.
- Ensure the brownie bombs are fully chilled before coating to help the chocolate set better.
