Instructions

Prepare Brownies: Follow the package instructions for the brownie mix, combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water as directed. Bake the brownies according to the recommended temperature and time, then let them cool completely.
Crumble and Form Truffles: Once the brownies are cooled, crumble them into fine pieces in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix and compact the crumbs, then roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate the balls for about 20 minutes to firm up.
Melt Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in the optional vegetable oil to thin the chocolate and create a glossy finish.
Dip Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffle back on the parchment paper.
Add Garnishes: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the truffles with your choice of sprinkles, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts to add texture and flavor.
Set and Serve: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 15-20 minutes until the chocolate coating is firm. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

You can use homemade brownies instead of boxed mix for a personalized touch.
Vegetable oil in the chocolate helps achieve a smoother and shinier coating but can be omitted if preferred.
Try different coatings such as white chocolate or colored candy melts for festive variations.
Store truffles refrigerated for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
