Ingredients
Scale
1 box (13×9-inch size) brownie mix, plus ingredients called for on the box
1/2 cup crushed candy canes, plus more for rolling
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Bake the Brownies: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions. Before baking, stir in ½ cup of crushed candy canes. Bake as directed.
Cool Completely: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Refrigerate for an hour to speed up the process.
Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Crumble the Brownies: Once the brownies are completely cooled, crumble them into a large bowl.
Combine and Roll: Add the cream cheese mixture to the crumbled brownies and mix until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. If the mixture is too sticky, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before rolling.
Coat in Candy Canes: Roll each brownie ball in crushed candy canes until fully coated. Place the coated brownie bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the brownie bombs for at least 30 minutes before serving. These are best served cold!
