Time 1h35m

Yield 24

cooking spray
1 (18.4 ounce) package brownie mix
⅔ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 large eggs
1 (4.6 ounce) package creme de menthe thins (such as Andes®)
1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil
green and while candy sprinkles (optional)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help the truffles set properly.
  • Be careful not to overmix the truffle mixture. Overmixing will make the truffles tough.
  • Chill the truffles for at least 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate. This will help them hold their shape.
  • If you are having trouble getting the chocolate coating to stick to the truffles, try dipping them in melted chocolate and then rolling them in cocoa powder.
