Directions
- Prepare cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add flour and a pinch of salt, stirring until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Fold in 1 cup (170 g) of the miniature chocolate chips.
- Shape the dough into small balls (about 1 inch / 2.5 cm in diameter) and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour to firm up.
- Prepare the brownies: Follow package instructions for the fudge brownie mix. Bake, cool completely, and cut into squares slightly larger than the cookie dough balls. Flatten each square gently with your hands or a spatula.
- Wrap the chilled cookie dough balls in the flattened brownie squares, encasing the dough completely. Return the brownie-wrapped balls to the baking sheet and freeze for an additional 30 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the Candiquik or chocolate almond bark according to package directions. Stir until smooth.
- Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the remaining miniature chocolate chips on top for decoration.
- Place the coated brownie bombs back onto the baking sheet. Allow them to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens completely.
