Making these delicious brownie bombs is a breeze! Just follow the steps below, and you’ll have a tasty treat ready in no time.
Ingredients:
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the back of the box)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips, divided
- 16 oz chocolate candy coating or almond bark
- M&M’s for topping
Directions:
- Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the fudge brownie mix box. Prepare the brownies as directed on the box and bake in a greased 9×9-inch baking pan. Once baked, let them cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Gradually stir in the flour and a pinch of salt until a dough forms. Fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips.
- Break the cooled brownies into small chunks and place them in a large bowl. Add the cookie dough to the brownie pieces and gently mix until combined. Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Melt the chocolate candy coating or almond bark according to package directions. Dip each cookie dough brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated bombs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, gently press an M&M onto the top of each bomb for decoration.
- Place the bombs in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is set and firm.
- Once set, your No-Bake M&M’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are ready to be enjoyed!
