Instructions

How to Make Peppermint Brownie Truffles

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
Follow the package instructions for your brownie mix to prepare the batter, then pour it into the prepared pan.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
Once cooled, crumble the brownies into fine pieces in a mixing bowl.
Add the chocolate frosting to the crumbled brownies and mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
Fold in the crushed candy canes to give your truffles a refreshing holiday flavor.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a lined cookie sheet.
Melt the Ghirardelli chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating fully and letting the excess drip off.
Sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes on top before the chocolate sets.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure brownies are completely cooled before crumbling to prevent a gummy texture. Store in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
