Ingredients
- Fudge brownie mix (plus eggs, oil, water as listed on the box)
- Creamy peanut butter
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers
- Optional: crushed peanuts, sea salt, or sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Bake Brownies: Prepare and bake brownie mix in a 9×13-inch pan as directed. Cool completely.
- Make Peanut Butter Balls: Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Roll into small balls and freeze for 20–30 minutes.
- Form Brownie Bombs: Scoop and flatten a piece of brownie, wrap it around a peanut butter ball, and roll into a sealed ball. Repeat.
- Chill Again: Freeze the formed bombs for 30 minutes to make dipping easier.
- Dip in Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips or wafers. Dip each chilled bomb to coat, then place on parchment paper.
- Decorate and Set: Sprinkle with toppings while chocolate is wet. Let set at room temp or refrigerate until firm.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for texture.
- Add caramel inside for a gooey center.
- Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter to make nut-free.
- Drizzle with colored chocolate or roll in festive toppings for holidays.
- If brownie mixture is crumbly, add a little water or melted chocolate to help it bind.
