🔄 Swaps & Notes
- Homemade brownies: Want to go from-scratch? Use The Best Peanut Butter Brownies for a nutty twist.
- Flour safety tip: To make raw flour safe, microwave it in 30-second intervals (stirring in between) until it reaches 165°F, or bake it at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
- Vegan version: Sub in plant-based butter, dairy-free chocolate chips, and almond milk for a vegan-friendly treat.
👩🍳 How to Make Brownie Bombs
- Bake the brownies: Prepare your boxed brownie mix according to package instructions. Bake in a 9×13″ pan, cool completely, and set aside.
- Make cookie dough: In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla; mix again. Gradually add flour and salt. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Form dough balls: Scoop dough with a small cookie scoop and form into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Wrap with brownie: Crumble the cooled brownies. Flatten a piece in your hand, press a cookie dough ball in the center, and wrap the brownie around it. Repeat.
- Melt chocolate: Combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip and set: Dip each bomb into the melted chocolate, tap off excess, and place on parchment. Chill until chocolate is set.
💡 Tips for Success
- Freeze the dough: This keeps it firm while wrapping and makes assembly easier.
- Work quickly: When dipping in chocolate, work in small batches so the dough doesn’t soften too much.
- Decorate: Add sprinkles, sea salt, or a white chocolate drizzle for flair.

These brownie bombs are perfect for:
- Party platters
