These little guys are about 1" round - about TimBit size. I make a pan of brownies using my favourite recipe. Half a pan will make about 25 of these guys! They are fun & easy to make, and totally satisfying for my sweet tooth/chocolate craving/inner nerd.

I am toying with the idea of making them our favours, haha!

(If anybody wants a recipe and/or instructions, let me know and I will try & put it together this weekend... but they are basically cake balls.)

whattttt!!!!! I love these! It makes me want to throw a whole mario themed party. What do you use for the wicks and the chocolate shell?

Wow, thanks guys :D The chocolate shell is actually just chocolate chips with some cinnamon mixed in, the wick is a piece of coconut, the feet are smarties, and the rest is done with icing.

I'll try and get my recipe up this weekend.. I'm not at home during the week!

7SEVENJ9: Those are awesome! Did you make them?

Lovin those!

Thanks for the info! I think I can see some white chocolate Boos in my future for halloween!

(Because this got really long, here's the TLDR version right off the bat: Make brownies, smash brownies & icing together, make balls, dip balls, decorate. Yay, done!)

Okay, recipe time...

Brownies

• 2 Cups brown sugar
• 1 Cup margarine
• 1 Cup all-purpose flour
• 1 Cup chopped walnuts (optional, & I don't use them when I make bob-ombs!)
• 1/2 Cup cocoa
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla

While waiting for the brownies to cool, I whip up a batch of chocolate icing. I don't really use a recipe for this; my mom always made icing by combining a couple tbsps of butter with lots of icing sugar and a bit of milk, and whatever flavourings you need for the occasion (in this case, cocoa powder). Pretty much I just add stuff until it tastes good  Your own favourite butter cream or even store-bought icing would probably work fine here, but make sure to have some white icing set aside that is good to pipe with.

Once the brownies have cooled, I cut them in half. Put one half in a bowl and set the other half aside. (Like I said, half a pan usually makes about 25 bob-ombs, so that's usually more than enough for me. But if you want to make more, feel free to use the rest of the pan too!) Crumble up the brownies in a really big bowl. The edges are usually crunchy and delicious and don't crumble well, so they don't make it into the bowl, if you know what I mean 

Okay, through the magic of not having to show you this step-by-step, the brownies are ready to decorate! If your brownies have the cold sweats like mine, grab a paper towel to dab them with - the icing will not stick if they are dewy. Now... I don't have an icing decorating kit (although that will be going on the registry when we make one ) so I put the icing in a ziploc sandwich bag instead and cut off a tiny slice of the corner so I can do the detail work. Pipe icing onto the brownies for eyes, and a bigger glob on the top to stick a piece of shredded coconut in for the wick. 

lol... go ahead if you want to.. I am happy to share!
