Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven and bake brownie mix according to package instructions then set aside and allow to cool completely.
    17.8 ounce Fudge Brownie Mix
  • Add the cream cheese to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Using a hand mixer, beat until it's smooth and creamy.
    ⅓ block cream cheese
  • Crumble the cooled brownies and add into the bowl with the cream cheese.
  • Use the hand mixer on medium speed and mix until fully combined. The mixture should be soft. Next, place the fudgy mixture in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a 1 ½” cookie scoop to scoop up even sized balls and roll them into balls in the palm of your hands until smooth, then place back onto the baking sheet.
  • Repeat with the rest of the brownie mixture. Chill in the fridge for an additional hour.
  • Once the balls have fully chilled, place the dark chocolate melting wafers in a double boiler and melt over low heat, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Do not overheat, otherwise the melts may scorch and seize up.

  • Use a fork to dip one brownie ball at a time into the melted chocolate. When lifting out of the chocolate, lightly tap the fork on the edge of the boiler to remove any excess chocolate.
  • Slide the ball off the fork and place back onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining balls.
  • Place the vanilla melting wafers into a small piping bag. Microwave on a low or defrost setting in 30 second increments, massaging the bag between each set so that it heats evenly.

  • Snip off a small piece of the tip. Drizzle the additional chocolate over the top, going back and forth over the coated balls.
  • Place back into the refrigerator to allow the coating to finish setting. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Enjoy

Notes

  • Make sure the brownies have fully cooled completely otherwise it may melt the cream cheese, making the brownie mixture difficult to roll into balls.
  • You can also melt the chocolate in the microwave. Heat it on a low or defrost setting and stir the contents in 30 second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
