Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker™ mint chip brownie mix
Water, oil and egg called for on brownie box
6 oz vanilla candy coating (almond bark) (from 20-oz package)
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (from 12-oz bag)
1 tablespoon shortening

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. Line 8-inch square pan with nonstick foil, leaving enough hanging over sides of pan for easy removal. Make brownie batter as directed on box, reserving mint chips packet for later; spread in pan. Bake 35 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
Remove brownies from pan by foil; cut 1/8-inch off around edges of brownie. Cut brownie into 6 rows by 4 rows, making 24 brownie pieces. Line cookie sheet or tray with sides with cooking parchment paper. Roll brownie pieces into balls, and place on cookie sheet; refrigerate 15 minutes.
In small microwavable bowl, microwave almond bark uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 15 seconds, until smooth. In another small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on High 60 to 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
Using 2 forks, dip and roll 12 balls, one at a time, in almond bark. Shake off excess almond bark, and place on lined cookie sheet. Dip remaining 12 balls in chocolate; shake off excess chocolate, and place on lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate brownie truffles about 20 minutes or until coating is set.
In small microwavable bowl, place reserved mint chips and 1/2 teaspoon oil, as called for on brownie box. Microwave uncovered on High 25 to 30 seconds; stir until chips are melted. Drizzle over chilled brownie truffles. Refrigerate until drizzle is set, about 10 minutes.
