Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Bombs:
- 1 box (18.25 oz) brownie mix + ingredients listed on the box
- 24 small chocolate truffles or candy pieces (e.g., chocolate caramels, peanut butter cups)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp vegetable shortening or coconut oil
For the Coating:
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp vegetable shortening or coconut oil
- Sprinkles, chopped nuts, or cocoa powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Follow the temperature instructions on the brownie mix box.
- Prepare the Pan: Grease or line a mini muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Make the Batter: Prepare the brownie batter according to the box instructions.
- Assemble the Bombs:
- Fill each mini muffin cup halfway with batter.
- Press a truffle or candy piece into the center.
- Top with more batter until the cup is about ¾ full.
- Bake: Bake as directed for mini muffins, usually 15–20 minutes. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the Bombs: Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
- Add Toppings: Place the coated bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and add optional toppings like sprinkles or nuts.
- Set the Coating: Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm.
Notes
- For a festive touch, use holiday-themed sprinkles or colored chocolate coatings.
- If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, you can shape the brownie bombs by hand after baking.
