Watch the quick video then scroll for the printable recipe and tips below…
Tips for Making these Brownie Truffles Perfect
Bake the brownies until done, but don’t over bake them. If you cook them to a crisp, they won’t roll into balls very well. The crispy edges are great to snack on but the brownies need to be moist in the middle to roll into truffles.
Cut the edges off to enjoy while you are making the truffles but don’t roll them into balls. They’ll be too crisp.
If using a box mix, follow the directions for fudge like brownies instead of cake like brownies. They will hold together better when rolled into truffles.
Chill the brownie truffle balls before dipping them in the chocolate. I know it’s tempting to just get it done but let the brownie balls chill in the freezer at least 30 minutes before dipping. It makes it a difference.
Use caution when heating the candy coating or almond bark.
You want to heat the chocolate in the microwave at 30-second intervals. In between intervals you want to stir. You only need to heat the chocolate until it smooth after stirring.
If you overheat the chocolate, it will get grainy and there is no saving it once it does that.
Dress up your truffles with sprinkles. Add a few sprinkles on top before the chocolate hardens. It makes the brownie truffles look fancy like store bought chocolates.
If you don’t have sprinkles but you have an extra candy coating or chocolate, like white chocolate, you can drizzle that on top.

What a simple, elegant recipe! I am going to try making those for our Christmas parties!
Hi I made these yesterday and they were easy , taste fabulous BUT, they are super oily . And after dipped them even, the oil is seeping out. I used a box mix and followed the directions exactly. The batter looked normal so I’m not sure what happened.
Dawn, did you let the brownies completely cool before rolling them?
