Ingredients

  • 1 box Brownie Mix prepared according to instructions (you can also use store bought if you are short on time)
  • 1 can Chocolate Fudge Frosting
  • 1 jar maraschino cherries or Old Smokey Moonshine Cherries
  • 2 bags Hollow chocolate balls approx. 2 dozen
  • 1 jar sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Bake brownies according to box instructions- most box mixes call for eggs, oil, and water so make sure you have all these items on hand. You can also use a store bought pre made brownie if you are not a cook or baker, just get a 12 count. 
  • Allow brownies to cool a least 1 hour after baking before continuing with the recipe. 
  • In the meantime, you can prep your hollow chocolate balls, by cutting off the bottom selection, or poking a hole into them. Tip- I learned if trying to cut you may want to warm your knife first.
  • Once cooled break up brownies into crumbs and stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate fudge frosting to make a thick batter like consistency. 
  • Next take a spoon and stuff half the chocolate ball with brownie batter then add your cherry to the center. 
  • Spoon more brownie batter to fill the ball completely. 
  • Place upside down into a cupcake or decorative candy holder, so that the hole is on the bottom. This will also hold the bon bon in place too.  
  • To add optional sprinkles, I used a kitchen torch to heat up the chocolate briefly, then add the sprinkles. 
  • Finally I places all the bon bon's into the refrigerator until ready to serve.
