Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For the brownie base:
2 cups baked fudgy brownie crumbs
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the coating:
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon coconut oil, optional, for a smoother coating
For the topping:
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
2 tablespoons extra melted chocolate, for drizzling
Directions
Crumble the baked brownies into fine crumbs and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the softened cream cheese and mix until the crumbs turn into a smooth, thick, dough-like mixture.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch wide.
Place the truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt the milk chocolate with coconut oil, if using, and stir until smooth.
Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper.
Drizzle with extra melted chocolate and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
Let the truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate until the coating is firm.
