How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Step 1: Bake the Brownies
- Preheat the oven and prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions.
- Bake and cool completely before moving to the next step.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually mix in the flour until combined.
- Stir in milk and mix until a dough forms.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Step 3: Shape and Freeze
- Roll the cookie dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for at least 30 minutes—this helps them hold their shape when wrapped in brownie.
Step 4: Wrap with Brownie
- Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into small squares.
- Flatten each brownie square and wrap it around a frozen cookie dough ball, sealing the edges to form a bomb.
Step 5: Dip in Chocolate
- Melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package instructions.
- Using a fork or spoon, dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the coated bombs back on parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set and harden.
What to Serve with Brownie Bombs
🍓 Fresh berries – The tartness balances out the sweetness.
☕ Coffee or milk – The perfect pairing for rich chocolate treats.
🍨 Ice cream – A scoop of vanilla or caramel ice cream takes this to the next level!
Tips for the Best Brownie Bombs
✅ Use heat-treated flour – Bake your flour at 350°F for 5 minutes to kill bacteria.
✅ Freeze the dough balls – This keeps them from getting too soft when wrapping them in brownies.
✅ Work with cooled brownies – Warm brownies will be too soft to wrap around the dough.
✅ Melt chocolate slowly – Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Storage Instructions
🥶 Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
❄️ Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months—just thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
How to Customize Your Brownie Bombs
Want to mix things up? Here are some fun variations:
- Peanut Butter Lovers: Add a teaspoon of peanut butter to the cookie dough or use peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips.
- Oreo Explosion: Crumble some Oreos into the cookie dough for an extra cookies-and-cream twist.
- Salted Caramel Twist: Drizzle the finished bombs with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt.
- White Chocolate Magic: Use white chocolate for the outer coating instead of dark chocolate.
- Nutty Delight: Mix chopped pecans or walnuts into the brownie layer for added crunch.
How to Make These Brownie Bombs Ahead of Time
If you’re prepping for an event or just want to have some ready to grab, here’s how to make these brownie bombs in advance:
- Prepare the cookie dough balls and freeze them. You can keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months before wrapping them in brownies.
- Make and wrap the brownie bombs but don’t dip them in chocolate yet. Store them in the fridge for up to 3 days before coating them in chocolate.
- Dip in chocolate and store. Once coated, they’ll last up to a week in the fridge or three months in the freezer.
How to Fix Common Issues
Having trouble? Here are some quick fixes:
❌ Brownies are too crumbly to wrap? Try refrigerating them for 10-15 minutes so they firm up slightly.
❌ Chocolate coating is too thick? Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil to thin it out.
❌ Cookie dough is too sticky? Chill it for 10-15 minutes before rolling into balls.
❌ Chocolate isn’t setting? Pop the brownie bombs into the fridge for 5-10 minutes to help them harden faster.
FAQs

Can I use chocolate chips instead of candy coating?
Yes, but add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to help it melt smoothly.
Are these safe to eat?
Yes! The cookie dough contains no raw eggs, and the flour is heat-treated.
