Instructions:
-
Prepare the dry ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, toss together the all-purpose flour and chopped nuts (if using). Once combined, set the mixture aside. -
Melt the chocolate and butter:
In a medium saucepan, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Heat the mixture over very low heat, stirring continuously until the chocolate and butter are fully melted and smooth. Be patient with this step – you don’t want to rush and risk scorching the chocolate. The mixture will become thick and stiff, but that’s okay. -
Add condensed milk and vanilla:
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined and the mixture looks glossy. -
Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the flour and nuts. Stir until the flour is fully incorporated, and you have a smooth, dense dough. -
Shape the brownies:
Take approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and press it around a Hershey’s Kiss (or another chocolate-filled candy of your choice). Roll the dough into a ball, ensuring the candy is completely covered. Place each brownie ball on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for slight expansion while baking. -
Bake the brownies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the oven is ready, bake the brownie balls for 8 minutes. The brownies should set but still remain slightly soft to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. -
Prepare the chocolate topping:
While the brownies are cooling, make the chocolate topping. In a small saucepan, melt 2 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over low heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and silky. -
Dip and cool:
Once the chocolate topping is ready, dip the top of each brownie ball into the melted chocolate. Set them back onto the wire rack to allow the chocolate to firm up. This will add a beautiful glossy finish to your kissable brownies, enhancing both their flavor and presentation. -
Serve and enjoy:
Once the chocolate topping has set, your Kissable Brownies are ready to enjoy! Whether you’re serving them at a party, gifting them to friends, or indulging yourself, these treats are sure to be a hit.
Baking Tips:
- Chilling the dough: If the dough becomes too sticky to handle, you can refrigerate it for about 15 minutes before shaping it around the chocolate kisses.
- Storage: Store your Kissable Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 2 months.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with different chocolate fillings. You can use peanut butter cups, caramel-filled chocolates, or even mint chocolate for a different flavor twist.
Final Thoughts:
These Kissable Brownies are more than just a treat – they’re an experience, with a hidden surprise in every bite. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or just to enjoy with loved ones, these brownies are simple to make yet incredibly delightful. Prepare these kissable delights for your next gathering, and watch them disappear in minutes!
