Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box brownie mix (or homemade brownies)
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate
Sweet Components:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Flavor Enhancers:
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup maraschino cherries, chopped and patted dry
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Optional garnish: extra chopped cherries or chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Craft a luxurious butter mixture by whipping softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until achieving a cloud-like, aerated texture.
- Incorporate vanilla extract, flour, and milk into the butter mixture, blending until a cohesive, smooth dough emerges.
- Gently fold mini chocolate chips and finely chopped maraschino cherries into the cookie dough, distributing ingredients evenly.
- Sculpt uniform cookie dough spheres approximately one inch in diameter, ensuring consistent sizing.
- Transfer cookie dough balls to a chilled baking sheet and place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to solidify and enhance structural integrity.
- Slice cooled brownies into precise two-inch squares, creating an even foundation for wrapping.
- Delicately flatten each brownie square and carefully encase the frozen cookie dough balls, sealing edges meticulously to create seamless, round configurations.
- Return wrapped bombs to the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes to stabilize their structure before chocolate coating.
- Melt chocolate using microwave techniques, stirring between 30-second intervals to achieve a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Utilize a fork to delicately submerge each bomb into molten chocolate, allowing excess to cascade off before placement on parchment-lined surface.
- While chocolate remains liquid, embellish with optional garnishes like additional cherry fragments or elegant chocolate shavings.
- Allow chocolate coating to solidify completely by refrigerating for approximately 30 minutes before presenting these decadent treats.
Notes
- Chill cookie dough balls thoroughly to prevent them from losing shape during chocolate coating.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for authentic Black Forest flavor and smoother melting.
- Pat maraschino cherries dry before adding to cookie dough to prevent excess moisture from making mixture soggy.
- Freeze brownie bombs briefly between steps to maintain structural integrity and make handling easier during chocolate dipping process.
