What You’ll Need
Here’s your shopping list for this heavenly dessert:
- 3 pkgs (about 42-count total) prepared fudge brownie bites
- 1½ packages Chocolate CandiQuik
- 3/4 cup butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 2 tsp milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 1½ cups mini chocolate chips (divided)
Make sure you check your pantry first because you probably have some of these ingredients lying around. Saves money, am I right?
Let’s Figure This Out Together
Alright, let’s get our hands dirty and make some magic happen. Follow these steps carefully, and you’ll be golden:
- First, make your dough: in the bowl of a stand mixer fixed with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the milk and vanilla. Lastly, beat in the salt and flour until a soft dough has formed. Stir in ONE (1) cup of the chocolate chips.
- Next, take a brownie bite and place a rounded tablespoon of dough on top of the brownie bite. Gently sandwich with another brownie bite, forming a sandwich. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining sandwiches. There should be about 20-21 total. Pop in the freezer for about 30 minutes – 1 hour or until firm.
- Once firmed, melt the CandiQuik according to package directions until smooth. Dunk each brownie bomb into the CandiQuik, coating it completely with the chocolate, and return it gently to the foil-lined baking sheet. Top with the remaining chocolate chips.
- Allow chocolate to harden before serving. Store leftover bombs in the fridge for about 3 days, or in the freezer for about 1 month.
And just like that, you’re ready to indulge! But let’s be real—this is where the magic happens.
Real Talk: What Actually Works
So, here’s what I’ve learned from my journey of baking these brownie bombs:
1. Room Temperature Ingredients Matter: Make sure your butter is softened. If it’s too cold, you’ll end up with clumps instead of creamy goodness. Nobody wants that.
2. Don’t Skip the Chill: Freezing these bad boys is key. It helps the cookie dough firm up so that when you dunk them in chocolate, they don’t go all mushy on you. Trust me, I learned this the hard way.
3. CandiQuik is Your Best Friend: You can use other chocolate, but CandiQuik is so easy to work with, and it gives you that smooth finish. Just follow the melting instructions to avoid clumps.
4. Use a Foil-Lined Baking Sheet: It makes cleanup way easier. Plus, the brownie bombs won’t stick. Nobody wants to wrestle with dessert.
5. Don’t Overthink It: If your brownie bombs aren’t perfectly shaped, who cares? They’re going to taste amazing anyway!
Leftovers and Storage Reality
Let’s talk about what happens when you (if you) have leftovers. First off, if you manage to have any brownie bombs left, congratulations! But seriously, these can last in the fridge for about three days. Just make sure to store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
If you want to keep them longer, pop them in the freezer for up to a month. Just know that you’ll have to give them a little time to thaw before chowing down. But honestly, who are we kidding? They probably won’t last that long.
Questions I’ve Actually Gotten
Can I use something other than CandiQuik?
Sure! You can use regular chocolate chips or melting chocolate, but you might need to add a bit of shortening to get that smooth consistency.
What if I don’t have mini chocolate chips?
No worries! You can chop up regular chocolate bars or use whatever chocolate you have on hand. Just make sure it’s something that melts well.
I’m gluten-free. Can I still make these?
Absolutely! Just swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend, and you’re good to go.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can make and freeze them ahead of time. Just remember to let them thaw a bit before serving.
What if I don’t like brownie bites?
You can use any chocolate cookie or even make your own if you’re feeling ambitious.
