Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Mixture
  • 18.3 ounces box of chewy fudge brownie mix
  • 0.5 cup of vegetable oil
  • 0.25 cup of water
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 12 ounce can of whipped chocolate frosting
For the Filling and Coating
  • 10 ounce jar of maraschino cherries (drained, stems removed, and patted dry) Make sure cherries are dry to prevent excess moisture.
  • 18 ounces of chocolate almond bark Melt in a microwave-safe bowl.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with baking spray.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs. Stir just until combined.
  3. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared dish and bake according to package instructions. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely.
Combining Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, crumble half of the cooled brownies and add half of the whipped frosting. Mix until even.
  2. Add the remaining crumbled brownies and frosting, combining again until well mixed.
Forming the Bombs
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the brownie mixture and roll into balls, flattening each ball slightly to make an impression to place a cherry inside.
  2. Fold the brownie over the cherry and roll into a ball, ensuring the cherry is completely covered.
  3. Refrigerate the brownie balls for 1 hour.
Coating
  1. Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every minute until smooth.
  2. Dip each brownie ball into the melted almond bark, ensuring they are well coated. Place them back on the parchment paper.
  3. Chill the brownie balls until ready to serve.
