Can I Make Truffles with Chocolate Fudge Brownies?
When you make these truffles, you will be using chocolate fudge brownies. You will be forming the truffle part of the dessert by making the chocolate fudge brownies into crumbs and then turn it into truffles. Using a brownie mix makes it easier to make the brownies and will save you time. You can certainly make your own brownies if you prefer.
Can I Make the Best Truffles Recipe using Cake
While using a brownie mix as the base for your truffles creates even more chocolate and richer taste than cake alone. However, if you only have chocolate cake or prefer cake to brownies it can be used. You can also use other flavored cake mixes if you like. While the chocolate and cherries go together perfectly, you can feel free to experiment.
How to Store Chocolate Covered Cherries Truffles
You can store your chocolate covered cherries truffles at room temperature and they will stay fresh for two to three days. If you store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator then chocolate covered cherries truffles will stay fresh for up to 7 days. These truffles can be stored in the freezer, in an airtight container or in a freezer bag, for up to 6 months.
Giving Crown Royal Cherry Brownies Balls as Gifts
Truffles always make a nice gift. Who doesn’t love a chocolate ball of decadence? If you want to make these Cherry Brownies Balls as a gift, you will want to wrap them in a pretty cellophane paper or store them in a decorative box with wax paper. The wax paper protects the brownie balls while preventing the brownies form coming into contact with the box.
Another option to present these truffles as gifts is to use pretty treat baggies. Available in most cake decorating sections, you can find beautiful decoratives bags designed especially for sweet treat gifts like these.
If you are giving these as a present, make sure that the receiver knows there is alcohol in the cherries, in case this is an issue for them.
Is There Alcohol in the Best Truffles Recipe?
For these truffles, the cherries are soaked in Crown Royal, which is popular whiskey. While baking desserts with alcohol in them will often cook out the alcohol and leave the flavor behind, that is not the case with this recipe. The cherries are not baked after they are soaked. The brownies that form the truffles are baked before using. This means that the alcohol that the cherries soaked up is still in the truffles.

Special Equipment you will need
How to Make Crown Royal Cherry Brownies Balls
Drain and Rinse Maraschino cherries
Add the cherries into a small bowl
Pour whisky over the cherries. Make sure you pour just enough to cover the top of the cherries
Allow to sit overnight so that the cherries can soak in the whisky
Remove cherries from the whisky and place onto a paper towel to allow the cherries to drip dry
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 13×9 baking pan with pam baking spray
Follow the directions on the back of the box to prepare the brownie batter
Once batter is made, pour it into the baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with few crumbs
Allow to cool completely
Once the brownies have cooled completely, start to crumble the brownies into a large bowl
Add in using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, 1/2 C of the chocolate frosting
Mix until the brownies start to form a dough
Using the small ice cream scooper, scoop out some dough and roll into a ball
Push your thumb into the center of the dough ball to form an indention
Place a cherry inside the indention
Mold the dough around the cherry and roll it into a ball
Place onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet
Continue the steps until all cherries have been rolled into a ball
In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the melting chocolate in increments of 45 second or until the chocolate is melted and smooth
Using a fork, dip the brownie balls into the chocolate and roll until fully coated
Pick up the brownie ball with the fork and lightly tap the edge of the bowl to remove extra chocolate
Place brownie ball onto the cookie sheet
Sprinkle a little bit of the chocolate sprinkles onto the brownie balls
Repeat steps until all brownie balls have been dipped in the chocolate
Allow the chocolate to harden before enjoying!
