Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

Directions

1. Prepare cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
3. Gradually add flour and a pinch of salt, stirring until a soft, pliable dough forms.
4. Fold in 1 cup (170 g) of the miniature chocolate chips.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate.
10. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the remaining miniature chocolate chips on top for decoration.
11. Place the coated brownie bombs back onto the baking sheet. Allow them to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens completely.
