How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs — Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Bake the Brownie Base

Prepare the boxed brownie mix according to the package instructions.
Let it bake and cool completely — at least 1 hour. Chilling the brownies in the fridge helps with easier handling.

2. Make the Cookie Dough Filling

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand or stand mixer until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing just until combined.
Gradually add the flour, then stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes to firm it up.

3. Shape the Cookie Dough

Once chilled, scoop the dough into small balls — about 1 to 1½ tablespoons each.
Roll gently between your palms to form a smooth ball.
Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20–30 minutes while you prep the brownies.

4. Wrap with Brownie

Once the brownies are cool, cut into large squares. Flatten a square in your hand and wrap it around each cookie dough ball.
Gently roll into a smooth ball and place on the tray again.
Repeat until all dough balls are wrapped in brownie.

5. Dip in Chocolate

Melt the chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Using a fork, dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
Place on a wire rack or parchment-lined tray. Add sprinkles while the coating is still wet if using.

6. Chill to Set

Refrigerate or freeze for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate coating is fully set.
Store chilled until ready to serve.

Serving and Decoration Ideas

• Platter-Ready: Arrange them on a dessert board with other no-bake treats.
• Party Cups: Serve each in mini cupcake liners for a cleaner presentation.
• Topping Ideas: Crushed Oreos, mini chips, or drizzle with white chocolate for contrast.
• Holiday Style: Add themed sprinkles or tinted chocolate for festive versions.

Storing Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Freezer: These freeze beautifully. Place in a freezer-safe bag or container and keep for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or enjoy straight from the freezer for a firmer texture.
• Room Temperature: Can be kept out for a few hours at a party, but best stored chilled to maintain structure.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Use Cold Dough: Cold cookie dough and brownies are easier to shape and wrap.
• Grease Your Hands: Lightly grease your hands with butter or oil when wrapping the brownie layer around the cookie dough to prevent sticking.
• Don’t Overheat Chocolate: Melt in short bursts and stir often to avoid burning the chocolate.
• Use a Fork or Dipping Tool: For smooth dipping, place each bomb on a fork, dip, tap off the extra chocolate, and gently slide onto parchment paper.
• Work in Batches: Keep bombs in the fridge while dipping others to avoid melting or softening.

FAQs

Can I use homemade brownies?

Yes, just make sure they’re chewy and not too crumbly. They should hold up well when wrapping.

What if I don’t have candy melts?

You can use any chocolate chips or bars — just melt with 1 tsp oil for smoother coating.

Is it safe to eat raw flour?

If concerned, toast the flour in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to kill bacteria before adding to the dough.

Conclusion

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are one of those desserts that feel like a little reward in every bite. I make them when I want something fun, indulgent, and sharable. You don’t need to be a pro to pull these off — just a little patience and some chocolate love.
