Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s jump right into making these scrumptious brownie bombs! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan with a little butter or non-stick spray. For the brownie layer, mix the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until it’s nice and smooth. Pour half of this mixture into your prepared pan and spread it evenly—this is going to be the base! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
