- Chocolate Chips: Choose semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese adds creaminess; don’t forget to let it sit out first.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix with eggs and oil until smooth and glossy.
Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until set but still fudgy in the center. A toothpick should come out slightly dirty.
Cool Down Time: Once baked, let the brownies cool completely in the pan before transferring them to a cutting board. This is crucial for avoiding molten messes!
Create Your Truffle Centers: Crumble the cooled brownies into a large bowl and mix in softened cream cheese until combined well—this will create that irresistible creamy filling.
Shape the Truffles: Use your hands to roll tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into balls; place them on parchment paper as you go.
Add Toppings!: Melt some chocolate chips and dip each truffle into the melted chocolate. Sprinkle desired toppings while still wet and let them set at room temperature.
Enjoying these Brownie Truffles will soon become one of your favorite indulgences! They are perfect for sharing or hiding in your secret stash—no judgment here!
