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. Line 12-cup muffin tin or lightly spray if unlined.
  2. Prepare brownie batter per box; stir in optional vanilla and pinch of salt.
  3. Half-fill cups with batter; press 1 tsp chocolate chips or truffle filling into centers. Add batter to 3/4 full.
  4. Bake 16–20 minutes until edges set but centers remain soft; don’t fully harden.
  5. Meanwhile, heat cream until steaming; pour over chopped chocolate and stir into smooth ganache.
  6. When cool enough to handle, poke small holes in cupcakes and spoon warm ganache into centers, or pour over tops.
