Ingredients
Brownie Bomb Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix plus necessary ingredients to make the brownies
- ¾ cup chocolate frosting
- 15 oz almond bark melted according to package instructions
- 1 can cherry pie filling or maraschino cherries see note
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Bake the brownies as directed and let cool completely. Do not overcook the brownies, crunchy brownie bits don’t make for good bombs.
- Crumble the made brownies and mix in about ¾ a cup of chocolate frosting. You want a consistency that stays together easily but isn’t too sticky to roll into balls.
- Start with about 1 ½ tablespoon of brownie frosting mixture to form it into a ball, then make a hole to drop in one cherry.
- Fold the brownie ball in over the cherry or seal it with a little more brownie/frosting mixture.
- Once you have all your bombs made, pop them in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
- Melt the almond bark while the bombs are hardening up in the freezer.
- After 20 minutes, remove them from the freezer, drop each bomb into the melted almond bark, then tap off the excess chocolate.
- Place each bomb on wax paper and wait for it to dry completely.
Notes
Either cherry pie filling or maraschino cherries can be used. Maraschino cherries are easier to work with but may leak inside the bombs. For freezing, flash freeze for an hour in a single layer and then transfer to an airtight container with paper towels between them.
