cooking spray
1 (18.4 ounce) package brownie mix
⅔ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 large eggs

1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil

  • Break up warm brownies into a large bowl. Roughly chop mint thins and add to the bowl; stir until well combined, allowing the brownies' heat to slightly melt the chocolate.

  • Dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate and turn with a fork to coat. Lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place dipped truffles onto a tray lined with waxed or parchment paper. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
  • Refrigerate for 5 minutes (or let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes) until chocolate has set.
