Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box of fudge brownie mix
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus 1 cup for coating
- 8 ounces vanilla frosting
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- In small bowl combine the raisins and rum. Let stand for about 15 minutes for the raisins to absorb the rum.
- Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine brownie mix, rum raisins (do not drain the rum), walnuts, vanilla extract, water, eggs, ½ cup chocolate chips. Stir to combine until a thick batter comes together.
- Pour the batter into an 8x8 square lined baking dish. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean. Remove and let cool completely.
- Break up the brownies into a large bowl and combine with the vanilla frosting until incorporated. Using a tablespoon or ice cream scooper, scoop out the batter onto a line baking sheet. Freeze for about 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, melt down 1 cup of chocolate chips in a double-boiler or microwave. Carefully dip each bonbon into the melted chocolate. I use two forks to this process to let the excess drip. Place back onto the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate has set.
- Before serving, dust with cocoa powder. Enjoy!
