Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Mixture
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared and baked according to package directions)
- ¾ cup chocolate frosting
- 24 maraschino cherries
Chocolate Coating
- 15 ounces chocolate bark
Instructions
- Prepare Brownie Mixture: Use a fork to crumble the baked brownies into fine crumbs. Add the chocolate frosting and mix thoroughly until the mixture forms a cohesive, moldable dough ball.
- Assemble Truffles: Divide the brownie dough into 24 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disk, place one maraschino cherry in the center, then carefully roll the dough around the cherry to encase it fully. Repeat for all portions and cherries.
- Freeze to Firm Up: Arrange the brownie-covered cherries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm them up for easier dipping.
- Melt Chocolate Bark: Melt the chocolate bark according to the package instructions until smooth and fluid for dipping.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip each brownie cherry ball into the melted chocolate to fully coat it. Place the dipped truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, drizzle any leftover melted chocolate over the truffles in decorative patterns.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the brownie mixture is well chilled before shaping for easier handling.
- For best results, use good quality chocolate bark for coating to achieve a smooth finish.
- These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Optionally, roll the truffles in crushed nuts or sprinkles before chilling for added texture.
