Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box 18.3 oz brownie mix plus ingredients called for on box (eggs, oil, water)
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 tsp chocolate chips or chocolate truffle filling for centers
  • Nonstick spray or 12 cupcake liners
  • Optional: pinch of salt and 1 tsp vanilla

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to box temperature and line a 12-cup muffin tin; spray lightly if not using liners.
  2. Make brownie batter per box directions; stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt if using.
  3. Fill cups halfway with batter, press 1 tsp chocolate chips or truffle filling into center, then top with more batter until cups are 3/4 full.
  4. Bake 16–20 minutes until edges are set but centers still soft; do not fully harden.
  5. While cupcakes bake, heat cream until steaming and pour over chopped chocolate; stir until smooth to make ganache.
  6. When cupcakes are cool enough to handle, poke a small hole and spoon warm ganache into centers, or pour ganache over tops for extra goo.
