How to Make Homemade Brownie Truffles

Step 1: Bake or Use Brownies

Use your favorite brownie recipe or boxed mix. Make sure they’re fudgy and slightly underbaked. Let them cool completely before starting.

Step 2: Break the Brownies

Crumble the brownies into fine pieces in a bowl. Additionally, remove large chunks to keep it smooth.

Step 3: Form the Balls

Next, scoop brownie crumbs with a spoon and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4: Melt Chocolate

After that, combine chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Consequently, you will achieve a silky texture.

Step 5: Dip and Decorate

Then, dip each brownie ball into the chocolate, covering it completely. Place back on the baking sheet and quickly add toppings. For best results, decorate while the chocolate is still wet.

Step 6: Let Them Set

Finally, let the truffles harden at room temperature or chill them in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Fun Ways to Change Up Brownie Truffles

Fixing Common Issues

1. Truffles falling apart: Ensure the brownies are moist enough. If too dry, mix in a little cream cheese.
2. Lumpy chocolate: Add more coconut oil to smooth the melted chocolate. As a result, your coating will be shiny.
3. Dry brownies: Add a small amount of frosting or cream cheese to make the crumbs stick.
