Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (18–20 oz) brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup thick caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup caramel candies, chopped
  • 10 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
  • Optional: Sprinkles or crushed nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water. Whisk until just combined.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  4. Let brownies cool completely (about 30 minutes). Break into chunks and crumble into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
  5. Add caramel sauce to brownie crumbs and mix until fully combined and sticky. Add more caramel sauce if needed, 1–2 tablespoons at a time.
  6. Scoop out 1-inch portions and roll into balls. If using caramel candies, press a piece into the center and seal.
  7. Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the freezer for 15–20 minutes until firm.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth.
  9. Using two forks, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on baking sheet.
  10. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and add sprinkles or nuts if desired.
  11. Refrigerate truffles for 30 minutes, or until chocolate shell is firm.
  12. Let truffles sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For fudgier truffles, slightly underbake the brownies. Always chill the brownie balls before dipping in chocolate to prevent melting. Use quality chocolate for the best coating. Gluten-free and dairy-free options are possible with ingredient swaps. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
