Black Forest Brownie Bites with Cookie Dough

by

These Black Forest Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are a decadent dessert made for chocolate lovers. Each bomb combines a gooey brownie base, a cookie dough center, and a chocolate-dipped exterior, creating a rich and irresistible treat. The addition of maraschino cherries gives the brownies a touch of fruity sweetness, balancing the rich chocolate flavors.

  1. Ingredients:
    • 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients called for on the package)
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
    • 1/3 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for dipping)
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for dipping)
    Directions:
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
    2. Prepare the brownie batter according to the instructions on the box and set aside.
    3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and mini chocolate chips. Mix well until the dough comes together. Add in the chopped maraschino cherries and fold gently.
    4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze for 20 minutes.
    5. While the dough balls freeze, pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
    6. Take the cookie dough balls from the freezer and gently press them into the center of the brownie batter, one by one, to form “bombs.”
    7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out clean (except for some gooey chocolate from the cookie dough center).
    8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
    9. Once cooled, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
    10. Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper. Let them set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
