Cook techniques
Mixing the Brownie Batter
Ensure that you follow the instructions on the brownie mix box carefully. Combine the ingredients until smooth and avoid overmixing to prevent a dense brownie layer.
Preparing the Cookie Dough
When mixing the cookie dough, ensure the butter is well softened for easy blending. Cream the sugars and butter to achieve a light, fluffy texture before adding the liquid ingredients.
Assembling the Bombs
For a uniform shape, ensure the brownie pieces are crumbled into small, even bits. When rolling the cookie dough balls, ensure they’re compact enough to hold together without cracking.
Coating with Chocolate
Melt the chocolate using a microwave or double boiler, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Make sure each ball is thoroughly coated for the best taste and texture.
Chilling to Set
After coating, chill the brownie bombs in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden properly. This helps maintain their shape and makes them easier to handle.
