These brownie balls are the ultimate indulgence! Made from rich brownies and coated in chocolate, they’re fudgy, bite-sized treats perfect for parties, holidays, or satisfying chocolate cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 batch of brownies (homemade or boxed, baked and cooled)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips (for coating)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
- Sprinkles, crushed nuts, or cocoa powder (optional, for decorating)
Instructions
- Bake the Brownies: Prepare brownies according to your favorite recipe or a boxed mix. Allow them to cool completely.
- Crumble the Brownies: In a large bowl, crumble the cooled brownies into fine crumbs.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese to the brownie crumbs and mix until well combined. The mixture should be moist and hold its shape when pressed.
- Form the Balls: Roll the brownie mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Coat the Balls: Dip the brownie balls into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, letting the excess chocolate drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Decorate (Optional): While the chocolate is still wet, decorate with sprinkles, nuts, or cocoa powder.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to harden completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Serve and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Brownie Balls
- Adjust cream cheese: Add more or less depending on how moist your brownies are.
- Freeze before dipping: This makes coating easier and keeps the balls from falling apart.
- Try variations: Use white chocolate or drizzle with caramel for extra flavor.
