Ingredient Lowdown

These Double Chocolate Brownie Truffles require just a few simple ingredients, most of which you likely already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Brownies: One pan of brownies baked in a 9×13 inch pan. I recommend using a fudgy brownie recipe for the best results.
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Three cups of high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips are essential for a smooth and delicious coating. I always use Guittard or Ghirardelli.
• Chocolate Sprinkles (Optional): These add a festive touch and a little extra chocolatey goodness!

That’s it! Simple, right? Now, let’s get started!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Brownies

Prepare and bake your brownies according to your favorite recipe or box instructions. Remember, slightly underbaked brownies work best! Let the brownies cool completely.

Step 2: Crumble and Roll

Once the brownies are cool, use a fork to crumble them into small pieces. Then, scoop a heaping tablespoon of brownie crumbs into your hands and press firmly to form a ball. Place the brownie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or the microwave. If using a double boiler, place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir the chocolate frequently until smooth. If using a microwave, heat in short bursts, stirring after each burst, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4: Dip and Decorate

Drop each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure it’s fully coated. Lift the truffle with the fork, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the coated truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles immediately after dipping.

Step 5: Chill and Set

Let the truffles set at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes until the chocolate coating is firm. Once set, these decadent Double Chocolate Brownie Truffles are ready to be enjoyed!

Better-Than-Grandma Tips

• Chocolate Quality Matters: Using high-quality chocolate chips is key to achieving a smooth and glossy coating. I highly recommend Guittard or Ghirardelli.
• Don’t Overbake: Slightly underbaked brownies are ideal for this recipe, as they create a soft and chewy truffle. See our tips for baking perfect brownies.
• Chill Out: If the melted chocolate becomes too thick, simply place the bowl back over the simmering water for a few seconds to thin it out.

Flavor Twists

While double chocolate is pure perfection, there are endless possibilities for customizing these truffles to your liking! Here are a few ideas:

• Mint Chocolate: Add a drop or two of peppermint extract to the melted chocolate for a refreshing twist.
• Peanut Butter Chocolate: Mix in a tablespoon or two of creamy peanut butter to the brownie crumbs before rolling them into balls.
• White Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted white chocolate over the set truffles for a beautiful contrast. If you love baking with peanut butter, try these peanut butter recipes.

Get creative and have fun experimenting with different flavors!

How to Serve

These Double Chocolate Brownie Truffles are delightful on their own, but you can elevate your presentation with a few simple additions. Arrange them on a pretty platter with fresh berries, like raspberries or strawberries, for a pop of color and freshness. You could also serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

For a special occasion, try drizzling some melted chocolate over the top and adding a sprinkle of sea salt. Looking for something savory to complement these truffles? Check out our dinner recipes for some ideas!
