Brownie Bon-Bons

December 11, 2010 by

Here’s another tasty Girl Scout recipe that even kids can help you assemble. The bite-sized treats disappear fast, so you may want to double the recipe. Brownie Bon-Bons are the eleventh of my 25 Cookies of Christmas.

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg brownie mix (any brand)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 egg
  • 20 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
  • (optional) Nonpareils, sugar crystals, crushed coconut, or other decorative toppings

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to temperature listed on the brownie box.
  2. Mix egg and water in a large bowl until combined. Do not overbeat.
  3. Add brownie mix and stir in. Batter will be thick.
  4. Form batter around chocolate kiss, ensuring kiss is completely enclosed in the dough.
  5. Roll in decorations, or dip just the top of the bon-bon into the decorations.
  6. Place on a cookie sheet.
  7. Bake 6 to 8 minutes, until brownie done. The cooking time will vary based on the size of bon-bons.
  8. Store in a tightly covered container.

Variations

  • Bon-bons can also be pressed into a Wilton Round Brownie Pop Mold, without decorative toppings.
  • Instead of decorative toppings, cool bon-bons complete and dip in a glaze made of 1½ cups powdered sugar and 2 to 3 tbsp milk. Add food coloring and a ½ tsp vanilla extract, if desired.
  • As another alternative to decorative toppings, Roll warm bon-bons in powdered sugar, cocoa, or cinnamon sugar.
  • I’m not sure there’s such a thing as too much chocolate, but if you like, try forming the brownie bon-bon around a large cherry or a mini marshmallow.
