Ingredients

  • 1 18.3 oz. box fudge brownie mix, heat treated see notes for directions
  • 8 oz block of cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1-½ cup chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 tablespoon crisco shortening
  • ½ cup white chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  • Prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl cream together the brownie mix, cream cheese, sea salt and vanilla extract until fully combined and “dough-like”.
  • Using a 1-½ inch cookie scoop, scoop the mixture and roll into 1 - 1-½ inch balls. Use the palms of your hands to smooth and round each ball. Do this until the mixture is completely used. See notes for additional tips.
  • Place each truffle ball on the sheet of parchment paper and place inside the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • About 5-10 minutes before the chilling time is complete, begin to prepare your melting chocolate by first adding the chocolate wafers to a microwave safe bowl. Heat wafers on 50% powder for 1 minute and stir when completed. Add 1 tablespoon of crisco shortening and return to the microwave for 30 second intervals on 50% power, stirring in between each turn. Do this until the wafers are silky smooth and fully melted.
  • Using two forks or dipping tools, dip each truffle ball into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Roll the ball, working it into the chocolate to cover it completely.
  • Place each chocolate covered truffle on parchment paper and repeat the process for all truffles.
  • Place inside the refrigerator and allow to cool for an additional 30 minutes.
  • When the truffles have almost finished chilling, repeat step 5 for the white chocolate melting wafers.
  • Using a piping bag or small plastic Ziploc bag, pipe white chocolate lines over each truffle, moving the bag back and forth.
  • Repeat this process for all truffles one at a time before placing in the refrigerator to chill for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
