60 minHalf brownie, half truffle, all trouble. These little cocoa-packed spheres are the kind of treat that vanishes from the cookie tray before you even sit down.
Brown sugar and cocoa give the dough that dense, fudgy chew, while a generous pile of semi-sweet mini chocolate chips melts into gooey pockets throughout.
Once baked and cooled, each bon bon gets a dip in melted white chocolate and a tumble through colorful sprinkles for a finish that looks like it came from a bakery window.
Kitchen Tips
- Do NOT overbake. Pull them at 7 minutes if your oven runs hot. They should look slightly underdone on the sheet and will firm up as they cool.
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it feels too sticky to roll into balls.
- Swap the sprinkles to match any occasion: pastels for Easter, orange and black for Halloween, or classic jimmies for an everyday batch.
