- Carefully dip each truffle into chocolate. Shake off excess chocolate, and return truffle to tray.
- Chill again before serving to ensure chocolate shell has thoroughly hardened.
Notes
- You can also add shredded coconut to the outside of the truffles for additional flavor and texture. Add one cup of coconut to a plate and ensure there are no clumps. After dipping in chocolate, push your truffle into the plate with the coconut and use your fingers to carefully roll it in the coconut. Bounce it in your hand a couple of times to let the excess coconut fall off and then return to the tray or to a cooling rack while you finish your other brownie batter truffles.
