Brownie Peanut Butter Bombs

Sharing is caring!

It’s time for Brownie Peanut Butter Bombs! Since it is Easter this weekend, I’m with my family again. You know what that means, right? Plenty of baking! I’m not going to do a lot of chatter before telling you how to make these gems because it’s just mean to delay.

Brownie Bombs

When I saw these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs on Pinterest, I about lost my mind. I told myself I HAD to make these for Easter. Problem is that while grandma loves sweets and gobbles my treats down usually, she doesn’t like raw cookie dough or anything that tastes like it.

Since we are visiting at her house and she is one of my biggest fans, I had to switch up the original recipe. So I took out the cookie dough and replaced it with the one thing that goes best with chocolate – peanut butter! I’m so glad I did because these are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Moist brownie wrapped around a delicious peanut butter ball and then dipped into chocolate.

Brownie Peanut Butter Bombs Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup confectioners’ (powdered) sugar
pinch salt
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 pkg fudge brownie mix, baked and cooled

1 cup minature chocolate chips
18-oz semisweet chocolate or chocolate almond bark (I used 1 1/2 pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips)

DIRECTIONS

1. Make the brownies according to the box. Make sure to follow the direction to make fudgy brownies and NOT cake-like ones. Cook in a 13×9 pan. Cool.

2. Peanut Butter Filling: While brownies are cooling, make the peanut butter balls. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, powdered (confectioners) sugar, salt and vanilla.

3. Chill the peanut butter mixture for 15-30 minutes in the freezer to make it easier to roll the balls.

4. Remove from freezer, scoop TBSP of mixture and roll into a ball. Repeat with all the peanut butter mixture.

5. Cut the brownies into small squares, about 1 ½” in size. Pick up a square and gently flatten it with your palm.

6. Place a peanut butter ball in the middle of the flattened brownie and very gently, wrap the brownie around the peanut butter ball. Don’t worry if the brownie starts to break or crack or the peanut butter oozes out the sides. No big deal! Just roll it around in your hands until the brownie completely surrounds the peanut butter ball the best you can. Repeat with remaining brownie squares and return to the freezer for 30 minutes.

7. Melt chocolate in microwave or with a double boiler. Using a fork, dip each brownie peanut butter ball into the chocolate, coat completely, and allow excess to drip off.

8.  Set on a wax paper covered plate or baking sheet and sprinkle the tops with mini chips.

Slice cooled brownies into squares. Using your hands, flatten each square. Roll around a peanut butter ball and wrap with brownie. Drizzle with melted chocolate and melted peanut butter and freeze 20 minutes more.

These are delicious! My 6 year old requested we make these again. The kids loved the process of making these. We had a little assembly line going.
