Ingredients Notes

The beauty of these Brownie Truffles lies in their simplicity, yet each ingredient plays a key role in making them absolutely delicious.

• Brownies: Use any brownies you have on hand! They can be homemade, store-bought, or even boxed mix brownies. Just make sure they’re fudgy for the best results.
• Cream Cheese: Adding a bit of softened cream cheese helps bind the brownies together, giving the truffles a creamy texture that contrasts with the fudgy brownie.
• Chocolate for Dipping: Melted chocolate gives each truffle a decadent outer coating. Use milk, dark, or white chocolate depending on your preference. High-quality chocolate melts better and tastes richer.
• Coatings: This is where you can get creative! Roll your truffles in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, or sprinkles to add a final layer of flavor and texture.

No special equipment is needed—just a mixing bowl, a microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate, and a baking sheet for easy assembly.

How to Make Brownie Truffles

Creating these Brownie Truffles couldn’t be easier. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you from start to finish:

1. Prepare the Brownie Mixture: Start by crumbling your brownies into a large mixing bowl. Use your hands or a fork to break the brownies into fine crumbs.
2. Mix with Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese to the bowl and mix until the brownies and cream cheese are fully combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed, forming a dough-like consistency.
3. Shape the Truffles: Roll the brownie mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If the mixture is too sticky, chill it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to make shaping easier.
4. Coat in Chocolate: Melt your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate, using a fork to roll it around until fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffles back on the baking sheet.
5. Add Toppings: Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle your favorite toppings—cocoa powder, powdered sugar, nuts, or sprinkles—over the truffles.
6. Chill to Set: Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.

And that’s it! You’ve got a batch of beautifully decorated, delicious brownie truffles ready to be enjoyed.

Storage Options

These Brownie Truffles are incredibly easy to store, making them a perfect make-ahead treat for busy days.

• Refrigerator: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They taste best chilled, and the chocolate coating stays perfectly firm.
• Freezer: If you want to keep them longer, freeze the truffles in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Just thaw them in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
• Room Temperature: If you’re serving the truffles within a day or two, they can sit at room temperature, but keep them away from heat to avoid melting the chocolate coating.

To reheat, simply let the truffles sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if chilled, so they soften slightly for a perfect bite.

Variations and Substitutions

These brownie truffles are incredibly versatile, and there are endless ways to customize them to fit any occasion or flavor preference.

• Add a Splash of Liqueur: For a grown-up twist, add a teaspoon of your favorite liqueur, like Baileys or Kahlúa, to the brownie mixture before shaping the truffles.
• Switch Up the Toppings: Try rolling the truffles in crushed cookies, coconut flakes, or crushed peppermint for a holiday-inspired twist.
• Use White Chocolate: Swap the dark or milk chocolate coating for white chocolate for a lighter look and a slightly different flavor profile.
• Make it Vegan: Substitute dairy-free cream cheese and vegan chocolate to create a vegan version that everyone can enjoy.
• Try Different Brownies: Experiment with different brownie flavors, like mint or caramel swirl brownies, for unique truffle variations.

These truffles are so adaptable that you’ll find endless reasons to whip up a batch, each one with a different flavor twist!
