Description
Boozy Chocolate Brownie Cherry Bombs are decadent bite-sized treats made by wrapping rich brownie around liqueur-soaked cherries, then dipping them in chocolate. Perfect for parties, holidays, or whenever you want an adults-only indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box: eggs, oil, water)
- 1 jar maraschino cherries with stems, drained (about 25–30 cherries)
- 1/2 cup cherry liqueur (such as Cherry Heering, Kirsch, or Amaretto)
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (for melting chocolate)
- Optional: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Drain maraschino cherries and place in a bowl. Pour cherry liqueur over them and soak for at least 1 hour (or overnight for stronger flavor). Pat dry before using.
- Prepare and bake the brownie mix according to package directions. Let cool completely.
- Once cooled, crumble the brownies into a large bowl, removing any overly crispy edges. Mix until the texture is dough-like.
- Take a small amount of brownie mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a soaked cherry in the center and wrap the brownie around it, forming a ball. Repeat for all cherries.
- Place the brownie cherry bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each brownie cherry bomb in melted chocolate, coating completely. Return to the lined baking sheet and add desired toppings.
- Chill until chocolate is set, then serve. Store in the fridge.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, soak cherries in cherry juice or soda instead of liqueur.
- Use dark chocolate for a richer, less sweet version.
- Serve cold for the best texture and flavor contrast.
