🧈 Ingredients:
For the Cookie Dough:
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1½ cups mini chocolate chips
For the Brownie Layer:
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, water)
OR make from scratch: - ½ cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking powder
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for smoothness)
🧁 Instructions:
🍪 Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- Mix in milk and vanilla.
- Gradually add heat-treated flour and mix until fully combined.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Scoop into 1-inch balls and freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
🍫 Step 2: Make the Brownies
- Prepare boxed brownie mix as directed, or:
- Melt butter, then stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- Mix in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Pour into a parchment-lined 9×13-inch pan.
- Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes. Let cool completely.
💣 Step 3: Assemble the Bombs
- Once brownies are cool, cut into small squares (2″x2″).
- Flatten a brownie square, place a cookie dough ball in the center, and wrap the brownie around it, sealing it into a ball.
- Repeat until all dough is encased. Chill for 30 minutes.
🍫 Step 4: Dip in Chocolate
- Melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil in microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Dip each bomb into chocolate and place on wax paper.
- Chill until chocolate is set.
🧪 Methods & Techniques:
- Heat-treating flour: Bake flour at 350°F for 5 minutes to kill bacteria.
- Chilling: Ensures bombs hold shape and don’t melt during chocolate dip.
- Oil in chocolate: Helps prevent seizing and gives a smooth shell.
📜 History & Formation:
The idea of brownie bombs stems from the rise of dessert hybrids – cronut, brookie, you name it. In this version, three fan-favorites – cookie dough, brownies, and chocolate truffles – come together in a symphony of texture and flavor. Originally popularized in gourmet bakeries and food blogs in the early 2010s, brownie bombs became viral sensations due to their gooey centers and decadent coatings.
💞 Lovers & Pairings:
- Serve with vanilla bean ice cream for the ultimate combo.
