How to Make Easy Brownie Truffles
Step 1: Bake or Use Pre-Made Brownies
Bake a fresh batch and let them cool fully, or use leftover brownies.
Step 2: Crumble
Crumble the brownies into fine crumbs in a bowl.
If they’re very fudgy already, you won’t need any binding.
Step 3: Bind the Mixture
Add cream cheese or frosting only if needed.
Mix until you get a soft, rollable dough.
Step 4: Roll into Balls
Scoop small portions and roll them into smooth balls.
Step 5: Chill
Place the rolled balls in the freezer for 20–30 minutes so they firm up.
Step 6: Coat
Dip each truffle into melted chocolate or roll in cocoa powder, sprinkles, or nuts.
Step 7: Set & Serve
Let them set on parchment.
Enjoy once the chocolate hardens!
