Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Stand mixer with paddle attachment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Foil-lined baking sheet
- Microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)
Ingredients
- 3 packages (about 42-count total) prepared fudge brownie bites (find these in your store’s bakery section)
- 1½ packages Chocolate CandiQuik
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1½ cups mini chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- First, make your dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fixed with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the milk and vanilla. Lastly, beat in the salt and flour until a soft dough has formed. Stir in ONE (1) cup of the chocolate chips.
- Take a brownie bite and place a rounded tablespoon of dough on top. Gently sandwich with another brownie bite, forming a sandwich. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining sandwiches. There should be about 20-21 total. Pop in the freezer for about 30 minutes to 1 hour or until firm.
- Once firm, melt the CandiQuik according to package directions until smooth. Dunk each brownie bomb into the CandiQuik, coating it completely with chocolate, and return it gently to the foil-lined baking sheet. Top with the reserved chocolate chips.
- Allow the chocolate to harden before serving. Store leftover bombs in the fridge for about 3 days or in the freezer for about 1 month.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the butter is softened to achieve a smooth dough.
- Freezing the bombs before dipping helps them stay intact during the coating process.
- Use a fork or dipping tool to coat the bombs in chocolate smoothly.
Additional Tips or Variations
- Try using white chocolate or caramel-flavored melts for a fun twist.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty combination.
