Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 box brownie mix
ingredients required on the brownie mix box (usually eggs, oil, and water)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
12 Oreo cookies, crushed
1 cup chocolate chips for melting
Directions
Start by preparing the brownies according to the instructions on the box. Preheat your oven and mix the batter using the required ingredients listed on the package. Pour the batter into a greased 9×9-inch pan and bake until done. Once baked, set the brownies aside and allow them to cool completely.
While the brownies are cooling, prepare the cookie dough mixture. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually stir in the flour and salt until fully combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Once the brownies are completely cooled, crumble them into a large bowl. Add the prepared cookie dough to the brownie crumbs and mix until the mixture becomes uniform and holds together easily.
Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the formed balls onto a lined baking sheet. Transfer the tray to the freezer and let the balls chill for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Remove the chilled brownie balls from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated balls back onto the lined baking sheet.
Let the chocolate coating set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once set, the brownie bombs are ready to serve.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes approximately 12 servings, depending on the size of each brownie bomb.
You can customize this recipe in several ways to suit your taste. Try using white chocolate or dark chocolate for coating instead of regular chocolate chips. Add chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds for extra crunch. You can also mix in different types of cookies instead of Oreos for a unique flavor twist. For a more festive look, drizzle contrasting chocolate over the coating or add colorful sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Storage/Reheating
Store the brownie bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, let frozen brownie bombs thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature for about 15–20 minutes. These treats are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, and reheating is not necessary.
