Description

These Easy Brownie Truffles transform delicious boxed brownies into decadent bite-sized treats. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, these rich, chocolatey truffles are coated in smooth melted chocolate and decorated with sprinkles, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts, making them perfect for parties, holidays, or anytime you crave a sweet indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box (18 oz) brownie mix
  • Eggs, oil, and water as required by brownie mix instructions

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)

Garnish (optional)

  • Sprinkles
  • Cocoa powder
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Brownies: Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix package directions. Prepare the brownie batter by mixing the boxed brownie mix with the required eggs, oil, and water. Pour the batter into a greased or lined baking pan and bake as directed. Allow the brownies to cool completely before handling.
  2. Crumble Brownies: Once cooled, crumble the brownies into a large bowl until they form fine crumbs with no large chunks. This will make it easier to shape into truffles.
  3. Form Truffle Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, portion out the brownie crumbs and press them together to form small, uniform balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the truffle balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips or candy melts and vegetable oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  5. Coat Truffles: Remove truffles from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Add Garnish: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of decorations such as sprinkles, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts onto the coated truffles for added flavor and texture.
  7. Set and Serve: Let the coated truffles sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is firm. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best taste. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips or candy melts.
  • Vegetable oil is optional but helps create a smoother, shinier chocolate coating.
  • Brownie truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt to the brownie crumbs for extra flavor.
  • If the chocolate coating thickens while dipping, rewarm it gently in the microwave.
