Ingredients

For the Brownies:

  • 3/4 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

For the Coatings:

  • Chocolate melting wafers (amount as needed to coat truffles)
  • Natural cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Batter: Melt the salted butter in a saucepan over low heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the packed light brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing well until fully incorporated.
  2. Add the Cocoa and Leaveners: Stir in the Dutch process cocoa powder, kosher salt, and baking powder to the sugar and butter mixture until smooth and even in color.
  3. Incorporate Vanilla and Eggs: Add the vanilla extract followed by the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition to create a smooth, glossy batter.
  4. Fold in Flour: Gradually fold in the unbleached all-purpose flour, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  5. Bake the Brownies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but not raw batter.
  6. Cool and Crumble: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, crumble the brownies into a large bowl.
  7. Form Truffle Balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the crumbled brownies into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. Prepare Coatings: For the chocolate coating, melt the chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions in a microwave or double boiler. Have the natural cocoa powder and powdered sugar ready in separate shallow dishes for the other coating options.
  9. Coat the Truffles: Dip the chilled truffle balls into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift them out and letting excess chocolate drip off. Place on parchment paper to set. Alternatively, roll truffles in cocoa powder or powdered sugar for different finishes.
  10. Set and Serve: Allow chocolate-coated truffles to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate briefly. Once set, store all truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before crumbling to avoid a soggy mixture.
  • Refrigerating the formed truffles helps them hold their shape during coating.
  • You can customize coatings with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for variety.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For softer centers, bring refrigerated truffles to room temperature before serving.
