Instructions
-
Prepare the Brownies:
Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to make the brownies. Once baked, let the brownies cool completely. -
Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
In a bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well-combined. -
Form the Brownie Balls:
Scoop small portions of the cooled brownie and flatten them in your hands. Place a small spoonful of the peanut butter mixture in the center of each flattened brownie piece. Fold the edges of the brownie over the peanut butter and roll it into a ball shape. -
Freeze the Brownie Balls:
Arrange the brownie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the brownie balls for about 30 minutes to firm them up. -
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. -
Dip the Brownie Bombs:
Dip each frozen brownie ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it is completely coated. Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper and allow the chocolate to set. -
Make the Peanut Butter Royal Icing:
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, water, peanut butter, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. -
Decorate with Icing:
Drizzle the peanut butter royal icing over the chocolate-covered brownie bombs.
-
Serve:
Let the icing set before serving. Enjoy the delicious Peanut Butter Brownie Bombs
Notes
-
You can use any brownie mix of your choice, or make brownies from scratch if preferred.
-
Freezing the brownie balls before dipping in chocolate helps them maintain their shape and ensures the chocolate coating sticks better.
-
If you don’t have semi-sweet chocolate chips, you can substitute with milk chocolate or dark chocolate depending on your preference.
-
Store these brownie bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for longer shelf life.
