Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated to kill bacteria)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Brownies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
- Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until well incorporated.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Assemble the Brownie Bombs:
- Once the brownies are completely cooled, cut them into small squares.
- Flatten each brownie square slightly and place a small ball of chilled cookie dough in the center. Wrap the brownie around the cookie dough, forming a ball. Repeat with the remaining brownies and cookie dough.
- Place the brownie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for at least 1 hour.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted.
- Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
