Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box fudge brownie mix
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) creamy peanut butter
- 24 ounces (680 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Filling and Sweeteners:
- 3/4 cup (90 grams) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Icing Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft the brownie base according to package instructions, ensuring thorough baking at recommended temperature. Allow brownies to cool completely at room temperature.
- Create a silky peanut butter filling by blending peanut butter with powdered sugar, vanilla, and a hint of salt until achieving a uniform, creamy consistency.
- Carefully deconstruct cooled brownies into small, malleable portions. Gently press each portion flat, depositing a dollop of peanut butter mixture at the center.
- Carefully encase the peanut butter center by folding brownie edges, rolling into compact spherical shapes. Ensure complete sealing of the filling.
- Transfer brownie spheres onto a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes to solidify and enhance structural integrity.
- Melt chocolate chips using microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until achieving a glossy, smooth texture at 50% power.
- Immerse each chilled brownie sphere completely in melted chocolate, ensuring thorough coating. Delicately place back onto parchment paper.
- Prepare royal icing by whisking powdered sugar, water, peanut butter, corn syrup, and vanilla until reaching a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Artfully drizzle peanut butter icing across chocolate-covered spheres. Allow icing to set at room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cool before forming balls to prevent crumbling and maintain structural integrity.
- Use room temperature peanut butter for smoother, easier mixing when creating filling.
- Freeze brownie balls helps chocolate coating adhere perfectly and prevents filling from melting during dipping.
- For gluten-free version, substitute brownie mix with almond flour or gluten-free brownie mix alternative.
