Cookie Dough Brownie Balls

I’m a big fan of Pinterest for all sorts of projects – baking, cooking, crafts, remodeling…A few weeks back, I saw a recipe by The Domestic Rebel for Chocolate Chips Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs that I found interesting. What could be wrong with cookie dough, brownies and a chocolate coating!?

Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers

Here’s my interpretation using one of my favorite cookie dough, fudgy brownies and the newly-launched Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers.

Ingredients

• 1 batch of Crispy Chewy Triple Chip Cookie dough, unbaked
• 1 batch of Ghirardelli Dark Fudgy Brownies, baked and cooled
• 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
• 12-ounce package of Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers

Chocolate Dipping

Instructions

1. Form cookie dough into 24 balls. Refrigerate the cookie dough balls for an hour.
2. Cut the brownies into 24 squares. Flatten a brownie square in the palm of your hand until it’s as thin as you can get it without it falling apart.
3. Wrap the flattened brownie around a cookie dough ball. If the brownie cracks a bit, simply patch it up with thicker pieces or leftovers. Refrigerate the brownie balls for 30 minutes to firm up.
4. In a microwavable bowl, heat the chocolate wafers until fully melted, stirring every 30 seconds – about 90 seconds (could be less depending on your microwave).
5. Using a fork, dunk each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely, and place carefully on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle about a teaspoon of mini chocolate chips on each brownie ball then place in the refrigerator for an hour to set. Place the set brownie balls in an airtight container for up to a week.

Makes 2 dozen brownie balls.
