Equipment
- baking sheet
- microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
- 2-tablespoon sized cookie scoop
- food processor
- Freezer
- parchment or wax paper
Ingredients
- 6 large fudge brownies day old works better!
- ½ cup vanilla buttercream frosting *do not melt!
- 18 maraschino cherries patted dry
- 16 ounces white chocolate to dip balls into
- 6 ounces milk chocolate for swizzle
- 1 tablespoon sanding sugar
Instructions
- In a food processor, add crumbled fudge brownies and buttercream frosting. Blend until dough consistency. The dough should not be sticky.

- Gently depress each ball and add a cherry; cover up the cherry with the brownie dough.
- Freeze for one hour.
- Remove from the freezer and allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Melt the white chocolate melts in batches. This will prevent extreme temperature changes which will crack the chocolate once the hot and cold come together.

- Melt milk chocolate and add it to a plastic piping bag. Pipe swizzles on each truffle.
- Sprinkle with sanding sugar and enjoy!
