How to Make Chocolate Brownie Bombs
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. Prepare a baking dish as directed.

In a mixing bowl, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, adding in chocolate chips if desired. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and bake as directed. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely.

While the brownies are cooling, prepare the creamy filling. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Once the brownies have cooled, crumble them into a large mixing bowl. Add the creamy filling to the crumbled brownies and mix until well combined.

Using your hands, scoop out a portion of the brownie mixture and roll it into a ball, about 1 inch in diameter. Repeat with the remaining mixture and place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

While the brownie balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. If desired, add vegetable oil to thin the chocolate for easier coating.

Once the brownie balls are chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated brownie bombs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Let the chocolate coating set at room temperature or place the tray in the refrigerator for quicker setting. Once set, your Chocolate Brownie Bombs are ready to enjoy!

Tips:

• Use a small cookie scoop for uniform brownie bomb sizes.
• Experiment with different fillings, like peanut butter or caramel, for a fun twist.

Substitutions and Variations:

• Use gluten-free brownie mix for a gluten-free version.
• Substitute white chocolate for the coating for a different flavor.

Make a Healthier Version:

• Use reduced-fat cream cheese and a sugar substitute in the filling.
• Replace part of the brownie mix with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
