Leftover Brownie Truffles
These easy brownie truffles are the perfect no-bake dessert to make with leftover brownie scraps or a full pan of brownies. Just mix crumbled brownies with a quick homemade ganache, roll into balls, and coat in chocolate sprinkles. They're rich, fudgy, and party-ready in under 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover brownie scraps approximately
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sprinkles for coating (jimmies work best)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes to thicken slightly before mixing with the brownie crumbs.
- While the ganache cools, crumble the brownies into a mixing bowl using your hands or a fork.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment to combine the crumbled brownies and ganache.If you're using about 2 cups of brownie crumbs, start by adding 2 tablespoons of ganache. Mix, then continue adding 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture holds together when pressed—this usually takes 3–4 tablespoons total.
- The finished mixture should be thick and moist—similar to cake pop dough—soft enough to roll, but not sticky.
- Scoop and roll the mixture into truffles about 1 to 1½ inches wide.
- Pour the sprinkles into a shallow bowl. Roll each truffle in the sprinkles, gently pressing to help them stick
- Set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to set. Chill at least 30 minutes for best results.
Notes
**Try to avoid dry edge pieces pieces of brownie if you can. Stick with the softer, fudgier center scraps for best results. You want a texture that’s soft and crumbly, like cake pop dough.
**If you want to use a full tray of brownies: Make about triple the amount of ganache.
If you're using a full 9x13 pan of brownies (about 6–7 cups of crumbs), start with ½ cup of ganache when mixing and add more slowly. Mix and assess the texture, then add more as needed, 1–2 tablespoons at a time. You may not need the full tripled batch, depending on how fudgy your brownies are.
