Valentine S'mores Brownie Bites
These Valentine s'mores brownie bites hide a gooey marshmallow center under a shiny chocolate shell with graham crunch. They’re easy to shape, quick to dip and fun to decorate.
Servings: 20 truffles
Equipment
- Baking Dish 8-Inch Square
- Scoop
- Whisk or Spoon
Ingredients
- 1 Box brownie mix plus the ingredients it calls for
- 1 Cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 ¼ Cups semi-sweet chocolate chips mini
- ½ Cup marshmallow fluff or 20 mini marshmallows
- 1 Teaspoon oil optional
- sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Make the brownies as directed on the back of the box mix, using an 8-inch square pan. You could use a larger pan but I recommend using an 8-inch pan as you will get more of the soft interior that you need.
- When the brownies have baked and cooled, take a scoop from the inside of the brownies, avoiding the crunchy outer edges. Place the scoop of brownie and the palm of your hand and squish it several times just like Play-Doh to get it nice and soft and combined.
- While the brownie Is still in the palm of your hand, use your thumb to flatten it out into a shallow little bowl. Take a very small scoop of the marshmallow fluff or one mini marshmallow and place it into the centre of the brownie bowl. Wrap the edges of the brownie up over the marshmallow fluff and very gently roll the ball between your palms to ensure it's all closed together.
- Continue this process with the rest of the brownies then place all of the balls onto a plate and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Place the graham cracker crumbs and as many sprinkles as you like into a shallow dish, set aside.
- After about 30 minutes, place the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe dish and microwave in 20 second intervals until melted. If the chocolate feels a little thick you could add about a teaspoon of oil to the chocolate to help with the dipping process.
- Take the brownie balls out of the freezer using a fork or a toothpick, dip each ball into the chocolate, let it drip any excess chocolate off for just a moment then roll in the graham cracker mixture. Set the finished truffle onto a plate lined with parchment and paper.
- Once all the truffles are completed place the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate shell has hardened.
Notes
Use the soft middle: The fudgy brownie interior rolls cleanly and seals better.
Keep hands slightly damp: Prevents sticking and helps create smooth spheres.
Work in batches: Dip a few at a time so coatings stay neat.
Mind the crumb size: Fine crumbs coat evenly and won’t shed as much.
Test one first: Dip a single ball to check chocolate thickness and crumb coverage.
