Your new favorite quick chocolate fix: Brownie Batter Truffles. So easy and so chocolatey!
This is my secret recipe.
A secret recipe for an easy treat that always satisfies my sweet tooth when I don’t have time to bake. And now I’m going to give it all away. Because we are all friends here, right?
It uses just a few basic ingredients, a little chillin’ time and off it goes, straight into your mouth to melt and take you away down the chocolate slide…. Mmmmmmm…..
The taste is spot on! Just like brownie batter. You have to try these!
I may or may not make a batch every Wednesday before “Nashville”. 🙂 Because these little balls of chocolatey indulgence (and they truly are indulgent) are a no-fuss treat for chocoholics like me.
But if you are planning to share them with someone, you may want to double the batch. They go fast!
This recipe makes about 15 truffles.
- 3/8 c unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 c granulated sugar
- 1/4 c light brown sugar
- a dash of salt
- 3/8 c all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter , melted
- 4 oz . semi-sweet chocolate for coating or cocoa powder for dusting
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, sugars, salt and flour.
-
In a measuring cup, stir together melted butter and vanilla.
-
Add to dry ingredients and stir until all comes together and forms a dough.
-
Cover the bowl and chill for about 1 hour, or until set.
-
Roll the dough into 1 tablespoon size balls.
-
Place bowls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
-
Place the balls into the fridge while you melt the chocolate OR roll in cocoa powder.
-
Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe dish or over a double boiler.
-
Dip each brownie batter ball in the melted chocolate and set back on the baking sheet.
-
Refrigerate until the chocolate coating is set.
-
Store truffles in a covered container in the fridge.

These are very very yummy! Note that these are VERY VERY rich. If you are not a huge chocolate fan, don’t make them. I dipped half of mine in semi sweet chocolate chips, and the other half in Reese’s PB chips. They were sooooooooooo good! 🙂 <3
Hi Mukta! Thank you for trying the recipe. I am afraid there is not much you can do about the sugar. You can use powdered sugar but it’s a brownie batter truffle – it needs the brown sugar. Hope you enjoyed them anyways!
lol Thanks, Colette!
Chocolate secrets are THE BEST secrets to share with friends! Thanks for sharing this wicked secret, Anna. You ROCK! Cannot wait to try. Meanwhile, pinning! Have a lovely Sunday, girl. xo
Thank you, Stacy! And thanks for the pin! xo
Oh my word! DANGEROUS!
Thanks, Allie!
Oh, these look so good….and sound entirely too easy to make! I might just have to try them RIGHT NOW!
Do it! Do it! 🙂 And let me know what you think!
I may or may not have literally gasped when I saw the photo of the cut-open truffle and how dense it is. OH MY LAW.
Thanks, Stephanie! They are incredible!
My oh my!! I would seriously be in some danger of gaining a pants size with these around. I love them. 🙂 You did a gorgeous job. 🙂
🙂 Thank you, my friend!
How long do you refrigerate it before dipping? If you don’t want to dip it, because you just want to eat it, then do you need to refrigerate it?
Refrigerate it until it’s set like fudge. It should be scoopable.
OMG, Anna. This is the type of treat I’d freeze to stop myself from eating it, only to find out it tastes fudgier and chewier frozen. Danger, danger!
Agreed! Thanks, Georgia!
Anna, I love you for sharing this recipe with us but dang, girl. This is dangerous knowledge! I can see myself stockpiling these babies in my freezer so that I can eat them every day, lol.
lol I still hope you will make it, Nancy! 🙂 xoxo
Brown batter truffles?! These look fab!
Thanks, Laura!
Awww, thank you, Laura!
Just one? No way! 🙂 Thanks, Angela!
I agree! Besides they are too easy not to try them. Thanks, Rebecca!
lol The lighter ones in the lot are simply the same truffles but rolled in cocoa powder. 🙂 But I love the idea of blondie truffles, Donna! Thank you!
Oh my… Glad your secret is out!! These would not last longer than a minute around here! Beautiful, as always!
Absolutely! Too delicious and tempting to last longer than that! 🙂 Thanks, Kate!
I love these! They would make perfect holiday gifts. Pinned!
Thank you, Jennie!
