How to make Brownie Truffles:
Make Brownies: Prepare and bake brownies according to recipe instructions. Do not over-bake them! This recipe works best with soft and warm brownies so they're easy to roll into balls.
Form Into Balls: Once brownies have cooled enough to handle, use a fork to crumble them up. Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon into your hands and press together to form into a ball. Should make about 35 balls.
Melt Chocolate: Place chocolate chips in a double boiler (I make my own by placing a heat proof bowl over a pot of simmering water), or in the microwave, stirring often until melted and smooth.
Dip In Chocolate: Drop brownie balls into the bowl of melted chocolate and use a fork to coat it on all sides, then lift up and allow excess chocolate to drip off into bowl.
Enjoy: Place brownie bites on prepared pan and top with sprinkles if desired. Allow brownie truffles to set up at room temperature, or refrigerate for a few minutes until chocolate sets.
Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:
To Make Ahead: Make this brownie truffles recipe ahead of time and store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
To Freeze: Place brownie balls in an airtight freezer safe container or bag and freeze for up to one month.

I originally shared this recipe in December 2014. Updated December 2017 and June 2023.
I’ve been making brownie balls for years now, both box mix and homemade, and everyone loves them. I make one addition after the brownies are baked by mixing in chocolate frosting, it makes them extra fudgy. I also use a food processor to break up the brownies, its quick and efficient and you don’t have to cut off the edges, unless you just like to eat them.
I have a batch of slightly uncooked brownie so want to turn them into these amazing truffles! But, can you tell me if they will freeze well?
Yes, they will freeze well! Enjoy!
I made these truffles but the brownie inside ended up being hard not fluffy like expecting. What did I do wrong?..
Most likely the brownies were overcooked…
These are great…and addictive! I have one problem with them–after I coated them, and the coating was set, little bits of oil seeped through the chocolate coating. Is this a normal thing?
When you melt the chocolate and butter be sure to add a couple splashes of milk because it is a really thick substance with just the chocolate and butter
What is the shelf life of these brownie truffles??
They will last well in the fridge for about 5 days. 🙂 Enjoy!
I’m a little confused! I am using boxed brownie mix. How much chocolate do I melt AND do I add butter to the melted chocolate for the dipping???? PLEASE
Hi Nanette, you can use a boxed brownie mix, Crumble the brownies after they cook and roll them into balls. Freeze them for 20 minutes.
Melt the 12 oz bag of chocolate chips and the 3 tbsp butter together, and then dip the brownie balls in them.
The consistency of my brownies looks NOTHING like pictured. Does the recipe call for (4) 4oz bakers bars? I followed exactly and mine have a really strong chocolate flavor. Haven’t dipped them yet!
You have such fabulous recipes… and I’m soo far behind keeping up with my favorite bloggers. I’m gonna PIN this.. and a few other of your recipes. (I should be working on getting my beloved yellow farmhouse ready for sale… but this is more fun!) ; o )
Could I use boxed brownies? These look so good! I just never have the time to make brownies from scratch 🙁
You can absolutely use a boxed brownie mix!
