Hi Cheerio! No, they don’t have to be refrigerated for the length of a cookie exchange. I’ve only ever had them immediately or straight from the fridge, so I’m sure they’d be alright without being refrigerated, but typically, that’s how I store mine. Since there is no eggs in the dough, and since it is surrounded by brownie and chocolate, it should be fine at room temperature.

Awh, Walker! Come over and I’ll make ya some brownie bombs! I’m sure if you show your parents or neighbors this recipe and ask them to lend ya a couple bucks, they’ll do it.. as long as you promise them one 🙂 thank you!!
