Fudgy Chocolate Chip Cake Balls
Ingredients:
¾ cup butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
2 cups miniature chocolate chips, divided
1 pkg fudge brownie mix, baked and cooled
1 pkg chocolate almond bark
Directions:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugars until creamy. Add the milk and vanilla; beat to combine. Lastly, beat in the flour and pinch of salt until a soft dough forms. Stir in ONE (1) cup of the mini chips.
On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, drop rounded, (scant) Tablespoon-sized balls of dough. Freeze the cookie dough balls for about an hour to firm up.
Cut the brownies into small squares, about 1″ in size. Pick up a square and gently flatten it with your palm. Fudgy brownies will flatten easily and retain their moisture which is why it’s important to make sure you use a fudgy brownie mix rather than a cake-y one.
Place a cookie dough ball in the middle of the flattened brownie and very gently, wrap the brownie around the cookie dough ball. If the brownie cracks, that’s okay; just kind of roll it in your fingers until the brownie completely surrounds the cookie dough. Repeat until all cookie dough balls are covered, then return to the freezer for 30 minutes.
Prepare chocolate bark according to package directions. Using a fork, dip each brownie truffle into the chocolate, coat completely, and allow excess to drip off. Return to the parchment-lined sheet and sprinkle the tops with the remaining cup of mini chips, for garnish. Store these in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
