Whether you're preparing for a party, holiday gathering, or simply indulging in a sweet craving, these truffles are sure to impress.
1 box brownie mix (any brand you prefer)
Ingredients required by the mix (usually eggs, oil, and water)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate for a richer flavor)
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional toppings: crushed nuts, sprinkles, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut
Prepare the Brownies: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. Prepare the brownie batter by mixing the boxed brownie mix with the required ingredients (usually eggs, oil, and water).
Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into a greased baking pan and bake according to the package instructions (typically 20–25 minutes). Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool the Brownies: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. This step is crucial for easy handling when forming the truffles.
Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and glossy. Let the ganache cool slightly before using it to coat the truffles.
Form the Truffles: Once the brownies are cool, crumble them into a large bowl. Gradually mix in about half of the ganache until the mixture holds together. Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
Coat the Truffles: Dip each brownie ball into the remaining ganache, allowing excess to drip off. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings: While the ganache is still wet, roll the truffles in your choice of toppings (crushed nuts, sprinkles, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut).
Chill: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour to set the ganache.
