Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Brownies:
- Follow the package instructions to bake the brownies and let them cool completely.
Crumble the Brownies:
- Break the brownies into a large bowl, crumbling them into small pieces.
- If the mixture is too dry to hold together, mix in cream cheese or frosting, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it forms a pliable dough.
Shape the Truffles:
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of the brownie mixture and roll it into a ball between your hands.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture, then refrigerate the brownie balls for 30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Coat the Truffles:
- Use a fork or truffle-dipping tool to dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
Add Garnishes:
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles, chopped nuts, or crushed cookies.
Set and Serve:
- Let the truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
- Transfer to a serving platter or store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Notes
- Cool brownies completely before crumbling for the best texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate for a smoother coating and richer flavor.
- If the chocolate starts to harden during dipping, reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds.
