Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather all your ingredients to have everything in one place.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you prefer to bake them. You can also air fry these for a different texture.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of brownie mix with 1/4 cup of water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  • Add the optional nuts if using and half of the chocolate chips for a rich texture.

Cooking

  • Using your hands, form small balls from the dough — about the size of a tablespoon each.
  • Place the brownie balls on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
  • If baking, let them cook for about 10-12 minutes, until they are slightly firm to the touch but still soft in the middle.
  • For air frying, cook at 300°F (149°C) for about 8-10 minutes, checking for doneness.

Serving

  • Once cooked, let the brownie balls cool for a few minutes.
  • While still warm, roll them in powdered sugar to create a sweet coating.
  • Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top for an extra touch before serving.
  • Enjoy your delightful brownie balls as an on-the-go snack or a dessert!

Notes

For best results, allow brownie balls to cool before rolling in powdered sugar. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft texture. Perfect for meal prep and storing in an airtight container.
