How to Make Double Chocolate Brownie Truffles (3 ways!)

Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Mixture

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate chips together until smooth. Stir in the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually incorporate the flour until just combined.

Step 3: Bake the Brownies

Pour the brownie batter onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 4: Form Truffles

Once cooled, crumble the brownies into small pieces in a bowl. Use your hands or a cookie scoop to form bite-sized balls.

Step 5: Coat Your Truffles

Melt your choice of coating (chocolate chips or candy melts) in a double boiler or microwave. Dip each brownie ball into the melted coating, allowing excess to drip off.

Step 6: Add Toppings

Before the coating sets, sprinkle with desired decorations based on the occasion—holiday sprinkles for Christmas or candy eyes for Halloween!

Step 7: Chill

Place coated truffles back on the baking sheet and refrigerate until set. Enjoy your deliciously decadent Double Chocolate Brownie Truffles (3 ways!)!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making Double Chocolate Brownie Truffles can be a delightful experience, but common errors can lead to less-than-perfect results. Here are some mistakes to avoid.

• Skipping the chilling step – Not allowing the truffles to chill can result in a gooey texture. Always refrigerate them for at least an hour before serving.
• Using subpar chocolate – Cheap chocolate can compromise flavor. Invest in good quality dark chocolate chips for the best taste.
• Overmixing the batter – Overmixing can make your truffles dense. Mix just until combined for a light and fluffy texture.
• Ignoring ingredient temperatures – Using cold eggs or butter can affect how well they blend. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
• Not measuring properly – Inaccurate measurements can ruin your recipe. Use a kitchen scale for precise ingredient amounts.
