Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (18 oz) brownie mix
- Ingredients listed on the brownie mix box
- 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 3 cups chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles (for decorating)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownies:
- Preheat your oven and prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake as directed.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before moving to the next step.
- Scoop and Mix:
- Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to remove the baked brownies from the pan, leaving behind the firmer edges.
- Place the scooped brownies into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the room-temperature cream cheese to the bowl.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the mixture until it’s smooth and no lumps of cream cheese remain.
- Shape the Truffles:
- Roll the brownie mixture into 1-tablespoon-sized balls using your hands.
- Arrange the rolled truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the truffles for 30 minutes or until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate Coating:
- Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
- Avoid overheating the chocolate to keep it silky and smooth.
- Coat the Truffles:
- Remove the truffles from the freezer.
- Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Decorate and Set:
- Immediately sprinkle your favorite toppings (sprinkles, crushed nuts, or coconut) on the chocolate before it sets.
- Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden.
Notes
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese ensures a smooth mixture.
- Don’t Overheat Chocolate: Heat in short bursts and stir frequently to prevent scorching.
- Chill the Mixture: Freezing the truffles before dipping makes them easier to handle.
- Custom Decorations: Use festive sprinkles or drizzle contrasting chocolate for special occasions.
- Store Properly: Keep truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
