Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Brownies

  • 1 package fudge brownie mix (family sized, e.g. Betty Crocker)

Coating and Decoration

  • 18 oz semisweet chocolate or chocolate candy melts
  • Sprinkles for decorating

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Follow the box instructions for the brownie mix, ensuring to make them fudgy rather than cake-like. Bake in a 13×9-inch pan. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely.
  2. Make Peanut Butter Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Chill Peanut Butter Mixture: Place the peanut butter mixture in the freezer for 15-30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to roll into balls.
  4. Form Peanut Butter Balls: Remove the mixture from the freezer, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions, and roll each into a smooth ball. Repeat until all mixture is used.
  5. Prepare Brownie Squares: Cut the cooled brownies into approximately 1½-inch squares. Take one square and gently flatten it slightly with your palm.
  6. Assemble Brownie Bombs: Place one peanut butter ball in the center of the flattened brownie square. Carefully wrap the brownie around the peanut butter ball, rolling it between your hands to enclose the peanut butter completely. Some cracking or peanut butter oozing is okay. Repeat with all squares and return the assembled brownie bombs to the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
  7. Melt Chocolate: Melt the semisweet chocolate or candy melts either in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth.
  8. Dip and Decorate: Using a fork, dip each brownie-peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place the coated bomb on parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle the tops with your chosen sprinkles.
  9. Set and Chill: Allow the chocolate coating to harden at room temperature, then refrigerate the brownie bombs for at least 3 hours before serving to ensure they are firm and delicious.

Notes

  • For best results, use a fudgy brownie mix rather than cake-like texture to complement the creamy peanut butter center.
  • You can substitute semisweet chocolate with milk or dark chocolate depending on your preference.
  • Freezing the peanut butter mixture and assembled bombs makes rolling and dipping easier.
  • Store finished brownie bombs in the refrigerator to maintain the chocolate coating and peanut butter filling firmness.
  • Sprinkles are optional but add a festive and colorful touch.
