Brownie Truffles Recipe
Description
To make Brownie Truffles, freshly baked brownies that are still soft and warm are crumbled and shaped into balls. These are then dipped into melted high-quality semi-sweet chocolate and allowed to set, creating a glossy chocolate shell around the fudgy centers. Sprinkles can be added for extra texture and appearance.
The recipe emphasizes the importance of using premium chocolate brands like Guittard or Ghirardelli to ensure smooth melting and a glossy finish. The contrast between the tender brownie core and the firm chocolate coating creates an appealing texture.
These truffles can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well for up to a month, allowing for convenient preparation in advance. The recipe allows flexibility to use homemade or boxed brownies according to preference.
Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 pan brownies baked in a 9x13 inch pan
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Guittard or Ghirardelli
- chocolate sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Prepare and bake brownies according to recipe instructions. Do not over bake them, as this recipe works best with soft, warm brownies.
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Form into balls: Once brownies have cooled enough to handle, use a fork to crumble them up, scoop 1 heaping tablespoon into your hands and press together to form into a ball. Should make about 35 balls.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler (I make my own by placing a heat proof bowl over a pot of lightly simmering water), or in the microwave, stirring often until smooth.
- Coat in chocolate: Drop brownie ball into the bowl of melted chocolate and use a fork to coat it on all sides, then lift up and allow the excess chocolate to drip off into bowl.
- Place on prepared pan and top with sprinkles if desired. Allow to set up at room temperature, or refrigerate for a few minutes until chocolate sets.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips such as Guittard or Ghirardelli for the coating to ensure smooth melting and shiny finish.
- Homemade brownies are preferred for better flavor, but boxed mix works fine for convenience.
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Freeze truffles in airtight containers or bags for up to one month for extended storage.
