These gluten free vegan sea salt brownie truffles are oh so decadent! Gooey brownie bites coated in dark chocolate, with a sprinkling of sparkly sea salt flakes.
Making homemade, yummy treats to give to my family and friends is one thing I love to do for the holidays. From dairy free peppermint patties to mini loaves of gluten free pumpkin spice bread. I always wrap it up in cute packaging, add a personal tag and a little ribbon or twine too. Personalized and sweet. Homemade gifts really are the best. Don’t you agree?
With all of the holiday baking I will be doing this month, I can use all the shortcuts I can get! For these brownie truffles, I used Enjoy Life gluten free vegan brownie mix, which happens to be top 8 allergen free. There is also 5 grams of protein in this brownie mix and probiotics too. Yes, probiotics!
The Enjoy Life brownie mix calls for just oil and water. Easy, peasy. However, I like to change things up a bit when making these brownies, taking them to next level of deliciousness. I double the oil {making them fudgier}, add a little brown sugar {which is never a bad idea} and add melted dark chocolate chips {the more chocolate, the better}.
Once baked and cooled, I rolled the gooey brownies into little brownie bites. Some time in the fridge and they were ready to be dipped in chocolate! I used the Enjoy Life dark chocolate morsels, but you could also use their semi-sweet mini chocolate chips or mega chunks. All of their baking chocolate is allergen free and paleo friendly as well. It’s the one brand of chocolate I always keep stocked in my pantry, especially this time of year.
The most important step in making these sea salt brownie truffles is adding that gorgeous, sparkly sprinkle of sea salt flakes on top. Sweet and salty go so well together. The sea salt also makes these truffles so festive. Looks like a dusting of snowflakes. So pretty!
Other than the brownie mix, Enjoy Life has even more baking mixes over on the site for you to check out! You can also find out where their products are located for purchase. I just know you are going to fall in love with these gluten free vegan sea salt brownie truffles. They are perfect for your holiday celebration or for sharing with friends. You can never go wrong with chocolate, especially when it’s allergen free!
