Ingredients
- For the Brownie Layer:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the Cookie Dough Filling:
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup maraschino cherries chopped
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Make the Brownie Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake the Brownie Base:
- Spread batter in a greased or parchment-lined 8x8-inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Cool completely.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a medium bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with chopped maraschino cherries (and mini chocolate chips if using). Stir until evenly mixed. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Assemble the Bombs:
- Break the brownie into pieces and roll into 18–20 small balls. Flatten slightly, then place about 1 tsp of cookie dough mixture in the center. Wrap the brownie around the filling and roll into a smooth ball.
- Chill and Serve:
- Place the bombs on a parchment-lined tray and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Optional: drizzle with melted chocolate or dust with cocoa powder for extra flair.
