Move over Oreo balls, Brownie Bombs (a/k/a brownie balls) have come to town.  My recipe for brownie bombs are easy to make. This recipe calls for prepared boxed brownies.  Don’t try to doctor them up (like in my doctored up boxed brownies).  This will make them too fudgey and it will get pretty messy when you add the chocolate frosting.  Yes. There is chocolate frosting.

Brownie bombs have only a few simple ingredients.

These brownie balls make the best addition to your holiday cookie platter.  Make them for your kid’s teachers, co-workers, or anyone that loves chocolate (which is everyone).  They will become an instant hit (as will you).  Big shout out to my friend Allison at Mother, Teacher, Dreamer for featuring these bad boys in one of her latest posts. Hop on over and check out her post on Tips to Get Through the Holidays.  She has amazing tips for making the holiday season less stressful.  As a personal friend of mine, she always has the most amazing strategies for simplifying things and taking out the stress factor.

I digress, back to Brownie Bombs.  Think of this as just a base recipe.  You can use whatever toppings you want.  You can put Christmas themed sprinkles on top, a white chocolate coating instead of the dark chocolate that you see in the picture, add chopped nuts or even put something in the center.  A small piece of caramel or an almond would be delicious.

Ok, so lets get down to business.  How do you make brownie bombs? I will show you how in 5 simple steps. Hang on folks.

Step 1: Make the brownies.

For all of my brownie recipes, I always use Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix.  Make the brownies according to the directions on the box.  I use the “cake like” option, which calls for three eggs instead of two.  Pour the prepared batter into a 9×9 greased brownie pan. I grease my pans with butter.  Because butter makes it better y’all.  Bake according to the directions on the box.

Step 2: Break up the brownies

Use a fork and break up the brownies (see pic below).

Step 3: Add chocolate frosting

Add the chocolate frosting to the crushed brownies and mix until combined.  I use Duncan Hines Whipped Chocolate Frosting.

Step 4: Form into balls and put in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Step 5: Dip in melted chocolate and decorate!

Melt the chocolate wafers in a small microwave safe bowl.  Drop the balls in (one at a time) and use a fork to toss them around until coated.  Carefully lift with the fork, and tap the fork against the bowl to let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.  Place on a wax paper or parchment paper lined baking sheet. For the chocolate, I use Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers.

The moment that you bite into one, you will fall in love.  This small little chocolate treasure will sweep you off of your feet.  It is delicious, moist and addicting! #nailedit
