1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:

• In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:

• Prepare the brownie mix according to the instructions on the box (usually involving mixing the brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water).

• Once the brownie batter is ready, set it aside.

3. Form the Brownie Bombs:

• Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box (usually 350°F / 175°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

• Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of brownie batter and flatten it into a small disk in your hand.

• Place about 1 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture in the center of the disk.

• Gently fold the brownie batter around the peanut butter center, ensuring it’s fully enclosed, and form into a ball.

• Place each formed ball onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart.

4. Bake the Brownie Bombs:

• Bake the brownie bombs according to the instructions on the brownie mix box, usually for about 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie part comes out clean (the peanut butter center will remain soft).

• Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Coat the Brownie Bombs:

• While the brownie bombs are cooling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

• Once the brownie bombs are completely cooled, dip each one into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. You can use a fork to dip them and gently tap to remove excess chocolate.

• Place the coated brownie bombs back on the parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set.

6. Let the Chocolate Set:

• Let the chocolate coating harden at room temperature or place the brownie bombs in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

• Once the chocolate has set, your Peanut Butter Brownie Bombs are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them at room temperature for the perfect combination of gooey center and crunchy outer chocolate shell.
