How to serve Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

The contrast of the warm brownie with the chilled cookie dough is truly heavenly. Trust me, these bad boys will disappear faster than you can say, "Who wants seconds?"
How to store Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Leftovers? (If there are any!) Store your brownie bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds for that fresh-baked feel!
Tips to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
- Timing is Key: Bake just until the brownies are set; underbaking slightly keeps them gooey!
- Sweeten the Deal: Swap out granulated sugar for coconut sugar for a caramel-like flavor. Yum!
- Mix it Up: Add in a handful of nuts or dried fruit to the cookie dough; it gives an extra crunch and fun flavor.
Variation
Want to switch things up a bit? You can easily make these brownie bombs vegan by using egg substitutes like flax eggs or applesauce and replacing the brownie mix with a vegan version. Add peanut butter instead of cookie dough for a nutty twist!
FAQs
Can I use homemade brownie mix instead of boxed?
Absolutely! Just ensure the texture matches what you get from a typical box mix.
How do I know when they’re done baking?
The edges should pull away from the sides of the muffin tin, and a toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean—gooey brownie center is desired!
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can prep them a day ahead and store in the fridge before baking. When ready, just pop them in the oven!
