Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 batch Homemade or boxed brownies Bake and cool completely.
Filling
  • 12 pieces Maraschino cherries Pat dry very well to avoid mess.
  • 2 tablespoons Cherry preserves or frosting Use to bind brownie crumbs.
Coating
  • 12 ounces Melting chocolate wafers or chocolate chips Melt slowly with a bit of coconut oil if using chips.
Optional Toppings
  • as needed Sprinkles or extra melted chocolate Use for decoration before the chocolate sets.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bake and cool your brownies completely. It's best to bake them the night before.
  2. Crumble the cooled brownies into a bowl using clean hands. Aim for fine crumbs with a few soft bits.
  3. Add cherry preserves or frosting to the brownie crumbs. Mix well and check the consistency. If too crumbly, add more binder until rollable.
  4. Pat the maraschino cherries dry with paper towels.
Assembly
  1. Scoop a small amount of brownie mixture and flatten it in your palm. Place a cherry in the center and wrap the brownie around it, rolling it into a ball.
  2. Chill the brownie balls on a parchment-lined tray for at least 30 minutes.
Coating
  1. Melt your chocolate and dip each brownie ball. Use a fork to lift them, tapping off excess chocolate.
  2. Place them back onto the parchment-lined tray.
  3. Add sprinkles immediately or drizzle chocolate on top once the coating is firm.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for about 2 months. Let them sit at room temperature before eating for the best texture.
