1cupchocolate frosting
3cupschocolate melting wafers3 cups chocolate chips may be substituted

Instructions
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions for an 8x8-inch baking dish. For best results, let the brownies cool completely before using - I like to make them the day before.
Break the brownies up into large chunks and add them to a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until crumble and all of the larger pieces are gone.
Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat, parchment or wax paper.
Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the brownie mixture and roll into balls between your hands briefly to smooth out the ridges from the cookie scoop. The mixture should be soft and shapable but not leave a sticky residue on your hands. If it is sticky, try chilling for 30 minutes before shaping.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the melting wafers* in a wide mouth glass at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. If using chocolate chips, add 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening such as Crisco or 3 teaspoons vegetable or coconut oil to the chocolate chips to provide a better texture and finished result.
Drop the balls, one at a time, into the chocolate and use a spoon to coat. Use a fork to remove the ball from the chocolate and tap to remove any excess chocolate. Use a toothpick or another fork to help slide the ball off of the fork and back onto the baking sheet.
Sprinkle with desired sprinkles before the chocolate sets, or allow the chocolate to set slightly before drizzle additional chocolate over the top.
Allow the balls to set fully at room temperature for about 30 minutes before consuming or packing up.
Notes
*I used milk chocolate but semi-sweet or dark chocolate can also be used.Storage: Brownie Balls can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. To freeze, place the balls in freezer bag and squeeze out any excess air and freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw at room temperature.
