Ingredients Notes

With just a few simple ingredients, these Easy Brownie Truffles are as straightforward as they come. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you’ll need.

Brownie Mix – A boxed brownie mix makes this recipe super easy. Choose a good-quality mix for the best flavor, and prepare it according to the package instructions. You’ll want to slightly underbake the brownies so they stay extra fudgy for rolling.
Cream Cheese – Cream cheese helps bind the brownies into truffles and adds a creamy texture. Make sure it’s softened so it mixes smoothly into the brownie crumbs.
Chocolate – You’ll need chocolate for coating the truffles. Use either semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips, or try dark chocolate if you prefer a less sweet coating. Melt the chocolate gently in the microwave or on the stove.
Toppings – Customize your truffles with your favorite toppings! Crushed nuts, sprinkles, or a dusting of cocoa powder or powdered sugar work beautifully to add extra flavor and visual appeal.

No special equipment is required, but having a cookie scoop on hand can make portioning the truffle mixture easier.

How To Make These Easy Brownie Truffles

Creating these Easy Brownie Truffles is a breeze. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making them perfectly every time.

Prepare the Brownies – Begin by baking your brownies according to the package instructions, but slightly underbake them to keep them extra fudgy. Let the brownies cool completely before proceeding. This step helps the brownies firm up, making them easier to roll.
Make the Brownie Mixture – Once cooled, crumble the brownies into a large bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until well combined. The mixture should be dense and fudgy, making it easy to shape into balls.
Roll the Truffles – Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place the rolled truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the truffles are rolled, refrigerate them for 30 minutes to firm up.
Dip in Chocolate – Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each to avoid burning. Once smooth, dip each truffle into the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
Add Toppings – While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each truffle with your choice of toppings – crushed nuts, sprinkles, or a dusting of cocoa powder add a fun finishing touch.

Let the chocolate set completely before serving. These truffles are now ready to enjoy or to pack up as a delightful homemade gift!

This recipe takes around 1 hour in total, including chilling and coating time. Once set, you’ll have a batch of beautiful, delicious brownie truffles to share.

Storage Options

These Easy Brownie Truffles are just as convenient to store as they are to make. Here’s how to keep them fresh:

Refrigerate – Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They’ll hold their shape and stay fresh while staying firm and fudgy.
Freeze – For longer storage, you can freeze the truffles. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. They’ll keep well for up to 3 months and can be enjoyed straight from the freezer or after thawing for a few minutes.
Room Temperature – If you’re serving them within a day or two, they’ll be fine stored at room temperature in a cool area. Just keep them covered to prevent the chocolate from melting or absorbing any odors.

Variations and Substitutions

These Easy Brownie Truffles are highly adaptable, making them perfect for customizing. Try these fun variations:

Peppermint Brownie Truffles – Add a drop or two of peppermint extract to the brownie mixture for a holiday-inspired flavor. Roll them in crushed peppermint candies for an extra festive look.
Nutty Brownie Truffles – Add a handful of finely chopped walnuts or pecans to the brownie mixture for a delicious, nutty twist. Coat in melted chocolate, then sprinkle with extra nuts.
Salted Caramel – Drizzle a bit of salted caramel over the top of the chocolate coating or roll the brownie balls in caramel sauce before coating them with chocolate for a sweet-and-salty combo.
Espresso Brownie Truffles – Mix a teaspoon of instant espresso powder into the brownie mixture for a hint of coffee flavor that complements the chocolate beautifully.
White Chocolate Drizzle – After dipping the truffles in dark chocolate, drizzle them with melted white chocolate for a two-tone finish that looks impressive.

Feel free to mix and match your favorite flavors and toppings – the possibilities are endless! No matter how you make them, these Easy Brownie Truffles are sure to be a hit.

Enjoy every bite of these fudgy, chocolatey Easy Brownie Truffles! They’re perfect for parties, gifts, or just as a well-deserved treat for yourself. Happy rolling!
