Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1½ cups mini chocolate chips, divided

  2. Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Fold in 1 cup of the mini chocolate chips.
  5. Take one brownie bite and place a rounded tablespoon of the cookie dough on top. Gently press another brownie bite on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining brownie bites and cookie dough.
  6. Arrange the brownie sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until firm.
  7. Once firm, melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package instructions until smooth.
  8. Dip each brownie sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, and place it back on the lined baking sheet.
  9. Immediately sprinkle the tops with the remaining mini chocolate chips before the coating sets.
  10. Allow the chocolate coating to harden completely before serving.

Can I use regular chocolate instead of candy coating?

Yes, but you may need to temper the chocolate to ensure a smooth and shiny finish.

Do I have to freeze the brownie bombs before dipping in chocolate?

Use a fork or a dipping tool to fully coat the brownie bombs and let the excess drip off before placing them on the baking sheet.

Can I add extra flavors to the cookie dough?

Yes! Try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon, espresso powder, or flavored extracts like almond or peppermint.

How long does the chocolate coating take to set?

It usually sets within 15-30 minutes at room temperature or faster if placed in the fridge.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark or semi-sweet chocolate?

Yes, but milk chocolate is sweeter, so consider adjusting the sugar in the cookie dough.
