Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c. dried cranberries
  • 1/2 c. brandy
  • 1 - box brownie mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 c. oil
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 12 oz. chocolate almond bark

Instructions

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine cranberries and brandy.
  • Heat for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for an additional 30 seconds. It should be simmering, if it's not, heat an additional 30 seconds.
  • Let stand for 15-20 minutes to marinate.
  • Meanwhile, prepare brownie batter according to package instructions. For me, this meant combining the brownie mix, egg, oil, and water.
  • Strain the cranberries, reserving the brandy.
  • Stir the cranberries and 1 tbsp. brandy into the brownie batter.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the brownies are cool, crumble them into a large bowl.
  • Mix just enough brandy into the brownie crumbs to form a paste, about 1 tbsp.
  • Scoop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, and roll into smooth balls.
  • Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate almond bark.
  • Using a toothpick, dip the brownie truffles into the melted chocolate, returning them to the parchment paper to set.
  • Once set, serve and enjoy!
