Description
Decadent brownie bites filled with cherry-studded cookie dough and coated in dark chocolate, inspired by the classic Black Forest flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (plus required oil, eggs, and water)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 12 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers
- Maraschino cherries (with stems) for garnish, patted dry
Instructions
- Prepare and bake brownies according to package directions in an 8×8-inch pan. Let cool completely, then crumble into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, make the cookie dough: whisk flour, then cream butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in milk and vanilla, then fold in dried cherries and mini chocolate chips.
- Combine cookie dough with brownie crumbs, mixing until a uniform dough forms. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt dark chocolate wafers according to package instructions. Using a fork, dip each frozen ball into chocolate, tapping off excess. Return to parchment and immediately top with a maraschino cherry. Let set until firm.
