CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRY BROWNIE BOMBS RECIPE - (4/5)

Chocolate Covered Cherry Brownie Bombs Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by bobcat

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 box brownie mix and ingredients as needed on the instructions of the box
1 can chocolate frosting
3-4 cups milk chocolate chips
1 can cherry pie filling

Steps:

Make brownies and bake according to directions on the box. Let cool completely. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Crumble the brownies and mix in about 3/4 cup of chocolate frosting. If you've made cake pops before, you want a similar consistency. Add more frosting a little at a time if you need to until you have the right consistency (stays together easily, but isn't too sticky) to roll into balls. Start with about 1 tablespoon of brownie/frosting mixture. Form into a ball, then make a hole in the middle to drop one cherry from the pie filling into. Use a little more the brownie/frosting mixture if needed to seal the cherry in. Place balls in freezer for about 20 minutes. While they are hardening in the freezer, melt the chocolate chips. You may use more or less depending on how heavily you coat the balls. After removing the balls from the freezer, keep them in the refrigerator while taking one out at a time and dropping into the melted chocolate, tap off the excess chocolate and place on wax paper for them to dry completely.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
Make sure the cherries are pitted and dried before using them. This will help to prevent the chocolate bombs from becoming too soggy.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use.
Be careful when melting the chocolate. Overheating it can cause it to seize and become unusable.
Use a spoon or small scoop to fill the chocolate molds. This will help to prevent the chocolate from getting messy.
Tap the molds gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Place the chocolate molds in the refrigerator or freezer to chill until the chocolate is set.
Once the chocolate bombs are set, you can decorate them with melted chocolate, sprinkles, or other toppings.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cherry bombs are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create unique and beautiful chocolate bombs that will impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate cherry bombs a try.
