I love making these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs whenever I want to create something extra special. Each bite starts with a rich fudgy brownie wrapped around creamy cookie dough then dipped in smooth chocolate. They're my go-to treat for parties because everyone's eyes light up when they discover that surprise cookie dough center.
A Triple Chocolate Dream
These little bombs are pure magic combining three favorite desserts in one perfect bite. The way the gooey brownie hugs that cookie dough center and gets all wrapped up in a chocolate shell creates something truly irresistible. Even better they're so fun to make and customize with your favorite toppings.
