ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

baked brownies (homemade or store-bought)
cream cheese (softened, optional for extra creaminess)
semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (melted, for coating)
sprinkles, cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut (for decorating)

directions

Bake brownies according to your favorite recipe or use store-bought brownies. Let them cool completely.

Crumble the brownies into a large mixing bowl, discarding any hard edges if desired.

Add softened cream cheese if using and mix until the mixture holds together and is fudgy.

Scoop small portions of the brownie mixture and roll into bite-sized balls with your hands.

Place the truffle balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.

Dip each chilled brownie ball into the melted chocolate, coating fully, then place back on the parchment-lined sheet.

Sprinkle with toppings like sprinkles, nuts, or coconut while the chocolate is still wet.

Refrigerate until the chocolate coating is set.
