I made brownie truffles/ brownie bombs. But really I made a mess. These are super simple. I used a brownie mix – baked as directed, some canned frosting that was given to me. And they are coated in melted chocolate chips
Ingredients list
1 brownie mix, using ingredients listed on box and baked as directed in 8×8 pan. Cool completely.
1 cup frosting
2 cups chocolate chips
1 tbs crisco
Crumble brownie mix.. blend in frosting. Scoop out and roll into balls.
Microwave chips and crisco in 30 second increments until you can stir smooth. Dip brownie bombs into it. Place on wax paper. Store in covered container
I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies, but they spread out way too much and i found them unacceptable to bring into work, so I decided to crush them up, make them into truffles and stuff them into dark chocolate cookies.
The truffles were pretty easy to make and I think stuffing them in cookies was a pretty good idea.
Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. The same goes for the baking cocoa. I also recommend freeze the cookie doughs once they are stuffed to keep them puffy.

4 ounces cream cheese softened
