{Bake} Salted Chocolate Truffle Brownie Balls
February 2, 2012 in All Posts, Bake
If you’ve been reading along, you know that these are really called Chocolate Salty Balls, but I’m trying not to be too crude too often. Once in a Bachelorette Party post was enough. Today, we will call these delectables by their civilized name: Salted Chocolate Brownie Balls!
Super easy, super sinful, super yummy.
Ingredients
- Brownie mix (try truffle brownies for a richer flavor or use your favorite cake)
- Cream cheese frosting
- Chocolate or chocolate-flavored candy melts
- Coarse ground salt
Recipe
Step 1
Bake your brownies.
I’m not a huge fan of brownies, but truffle brownies are to-die-for! Remember these Truffle Brownie S’More Cake Pops?
Step 2
Mix in your cream cheese frosting and roll the mixture into balls.
Never made cake balls or cake pops? See my tutorial with lots of beginner tips here. 
Ooh, now I’m craving my red velvet Red, White & Blue Cake Balls and pretty Delphinium Dollop Chocolate Cake Balls!
Step 3
Coat your brownie balls with candy melts or chocolate.
For a quick and dirty job, use candy melts - they dry quickly and don’t melt as easily as chocolate.
Step 4
Before the coated balls dry, sprinkle on some coarse ground or flaky salt.
So so good. They go really well with a Sparkling Pomegranate Vodka Shot! I’m sure they also go well with milk, but the next opportunity I have to make them is for Hubby’s 40th birthday party - Curry, Cake & A Keg - so I’m hoping they go really well with beer! (I’m also going to try my hand at these Shiner Bock cupcakes!)
Happy Baking!

I’ve never made cake pops, but you have convinced me that I should! Love this and I will definitely be checking out your tips! Thank you.
Cake pops are kind of a pain if you don’t have a system down, so a lot of times I just go to a cake ball instead. The stick just gets in the way anyway
Too crude? This blog? Whateva. haha!
I missed those delphinium dollop balls somehow- they are cute and I love the name.
I don’t see anything wrong with calling them salty balls, personally. A spade is a spade. Are they balls? Are they salty?
Great post-
Why yes, they are, Tricia
