Cream Cheese Chocolate Bombs #12WksXmasTreats

I'm a bomb maker. Yes, you read that right. A bomb maker. But don't panic - the only explosions my bombs can manage are those in the flavour department, and as far as I know they're still allowed on airplanes worldwide. 

I came across the original idea for making these cake-like cookies studded with milk chocolate and tangy cream cheese on Gluten Free Easily, and immediately knew I had to give them a try. After all, they looked like one of those things that logically shouldn't work, yet magically does! I had to modify Shirley's version slightly due to what I had on hand (and an egg allergy in my serving group), but the result was just as decadent - not to mention safe for school (nut-free), egg allergies and celiacs! 

I wanted to save some of the batch for later, so I froze some of the dough on parchment lined sheets and transferred them to a freezer bag. When I baked them up from frozen, they were identical to their "fresh" counterparts - good to know for holiday planning! If you are making these for gluten-intolerant or celiac friends, make sure you pick a gluten-free milk chocolate (don't just raid the Hallowe'en stash... unless you check with the manufacturer first! A basic starting list of GF items is here). Otherwise, go hog-wild and enjoy these pillowy, tangy puffs of delight!
