Inside Out Brownie Cookies, also known as Fudge Bon Bon Cookies, are adapted from an old Pillsbury Bake-Off recipe. At one point Hershey's might have published it, which would make sense since it's a fudgy cookie wrapped around a Hershey's Kiss. It's also possible Eagle Brand distributed the recipe since the chocolate cookies call for a can of condensed milk.

How to Make Inside Out Brownie Cookies
The process for making these is so simple. You just melt the butter and chocolate chips together in a saucepan, stir in condensed milk and vanilla, then add flour to make a soft dough. Nuts are optional. Let cool slightly, then wrap tablespoons of your chocolate dough around Hershey's Kisses. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes, then let cool and dip in chocolate. You can use the recipe's suggestion of melting chips or just drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
Using a Partial Can of Condensed Milk
This recipe is a great way to use up a partial can of condensed milk. I just adjust the ratios based on how much condensed milk you have. If it's half a can, use 2 tablespoons of butter, a cup of chocolate chips, a cup of flour, etc. You can even use a quarter can of condensed milk for a very small batch.
Stick With Kisses
Lastly, this may sound weird but this recipe really only works well with Kisses. I've tried wrapping the dough around everything from caramels to Oreos and the results just aren't as good as with the Kisses. So my advice would be to only make these if you have the Kisses. And I think Fudge Bon Bons is a much better name than Inside Out Brownie Cookies because there are way better brownie cookies out there.
Recipe
Inside Out Condensed Milk Brownie Cookies or Fudge Bon Bons
Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 oz
- ¼ cup butter (salted) (56 grams)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 can
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, weigh or measure with a light hand (250 grams)
- ½ cup finely chopped nuts -- optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 32 each Hershey's Kisses or Dove Chocolates
Chocolate Topping
- 2 oz semisweet chocolate chips 56 grams
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips and butter stirring over very low heat until chips are melted and smooth.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla to chocolate mixture and mix well. Add chocolate mixture to flour and mix well. You can do this all in the saucepan or you can scrape the chocolate mixture into a bowl and stir in the flour.
- Let cool slightly, then shape 1 tablespoon of dough around each candy, covering it completely. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. I recommend lining with parchment, but you don't have to.
- Bake at 350° for 6 to 8 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Cookies will be soft and appear shiny but will become firm as they cool. Remove from cookie sheets. Cool 15 minutes or until completely cooled.
Chocolate Topping
- Melt 2 oz of chocolate chips in a small saucepan with 1-teaspoon vegetable oil and stir until smooth. Dip just the top of the treat in the melted chocolate and set on rack to cool and firm chocolate.

Hi Amy,
I think chunks of just about any type of chocolate would work.
Amy says
Hi Anna, you can't always get hershey's kisses at the supermarkets near where I live. Any suggestions for alternatives?
Anna says
Bonjour!
Merci de commenter la Cookie Madness! Je ne parle pas de français, mais j'étais capable de vous traduire le commentaire.
"Kisses" sont de petits bonbons de chocolat de lait faits par Hershey. Ils sont très populaires en Amérique.
Amazon.com leur vend en ligne.

Bonjour ! J'aime beaucoup votre super site sur les gâteaux, il est très attractif !
Je suis une belle gourmande aussi !
Très intéressée par cette recette, je me demande à quoi s'apparentent en France, ces bonbons que vous appelez Baisers" ?
Merci de me répondre si vous avez le temps,
Lilizen

They look delicious, Anna!

Well, this is the most perfect recipe to use up the 1/2 bag of kisses I have leftover from Christmas. 🙂 All I could seem to find recipe wise was the peanut butter cookies with the kiss in the middle. They are always good, but not really what I was looking for. I will make these in the next day or two! Late for V-day, but who cares...they are chocolate!!!
Kate says
Wow, these look good and rich! Too bad I gave up chocolate for Lent!
Lisa Ernst says
Yum! I am definitely going to try these! I'll probably find a dark chocolate substitute for the Hershey's kisses, though.
Katie says
oh my goodness!! everything on your blog is absolutely amazing! these look so delicious.
Anna says
Kristin, never underestimate snickerdoodles. Just make sure you use a good recipe.
Alison, the bee project went over well. The only challenging thing about it was glueing on the eyes, but using a Q-tip helped solve that problem. The girls seemed to enjoy themselves.
Jessica, this recipe is modeled off an old bake-off winner called fudge bon bon cookies. No wonder! I need to go add that. At any rate, these were delicious once set.
Jessica says
Nobel Prize-worthy.
Alison says
The bees look lovely! I did paper flowers with
my little girl and her friends, using the lollipop
stick as the stem and the actual lollipop as the centre of the flower.
Kristin W says
They do sound decadent! I'm baking tonight for the office for tomorrow. I'm torn between tiny vanilla hearts with pink icing and pink sugar sparkles or chai-spiced snickerdoodles. The hearts would be cute, of course, but the snickerdoodles would be MUCH easier to pull off on a weeknight. Hmm.
Anna says
Just made these. They are much too rich for kids! I'm going to give them to my friend next door.
