Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 box brownie mix (prepared)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup mini chocolate chips
2 cups chocolate candy melts (melted)
sprinkles (optional)

Directions

I start by preparing the brownies according to the package instructions and letting them cool completely. Then I cut them into small squares.

Next, I make the cookie dough by creaming together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. I mix in the milk and vanilla, then gradually add the flour and fold in the chocolate chips.

I roll the cookie dough into small balls, about one tablespoon each.

Then I take a piece of brownie, flatten it, and wrap it around each cookie dough ball, making sure it’s fully enclosed.

I melt the chocolate candy melts until smooth, then dip each brownie bomb into the chocolate and place it on a lined baking sheet.

Finally, I add sprinkles if I want and refrigerate them until the chocolate coating is fully set.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 16–20 brownie bombs (approximately 8–10 servings).
Prep time: about 30 minutes
Chill time: about 30 minutes
Total time: about 1 hour

Variations

I sometimes use white chocolate or dark chocolate for coating. When I want extra flavor, I add peanut butter to the cookie dough. I also like mixing in crushed cookies or nuts for added texture.

Storage/reheating

I store the brownie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I enjoy them chilled or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating. I don’t reheat them.

FAQs

Is it safe to eat the cookie dough?

I make sure to use heat-treated flour or a safe-to-eat method if I’m concerned about raw ingredients.

Can I use homemade brownies?

Yes, I can use homemade brownies instead of a mix.

Can I freeze these?

Yes, I can freeze them for up to 2 months and thaw before serving.

Why is my chocolate coating thick?

I can add a small amount of oil to thin it out for easier dipping.

Can I skip the coating?

I can, but I find the chocolate coating adds structure and extra flavor.

Conclusion

I keep making these chocolate chip cookie brownie bombs because they’re rich, fun, and incredibly satisfying. They’re the kind of dessert that always impresses and disappears quickly.
