Chocolate Truffle Brownies

The Best Brownie EVER 

(or so I have been told)

Every cook as their "go to" recipe.  The one that you always keep the ingredients on hand for and can bring to any gathering and it is a hit.  For me that recipe is this one.  You will always find a box of brownie mix and a bag of Lindt truffles in my pantry, so that I can throw these togethers when I needed something to give as a "Thank you" or bring to a party.  I am embarrassed when people as for my secret recipe.  Secret?  They come from boxed mix and a bag of candy, but for some reason these two things together along with a cupcake liner make a whole lot of deliciousness.

 My Mommalove and I came up with this when we were experimenting with brownies.   These use my absolutely favorite candy in the world, Lindt Truffles!  My favorite and the super dark ones, but I make them with all kinds.  The cheapest place to buy them is at Costco.  You can get a large bag for what you would pay for two small ones at the grocery store.  We tried just about every kind of chocolate candy in the middle, but the Lindt just blew the rest out of the water.

Hope you enjoy them and make them to give as a gift.  Who doesn't love a box of home baked amazingness?
