Cranberry Orange Pistachio Brownie Balls/#CranberryWeek

Tweet

Cranberry Pistachio Brownie Balls are my second recipe of this week celebrating cranberries! They are easy to make, fun to eat, and are a great treat to include in a gift basket or on a cookie/candy holiday tray! I started this easy-to-make recipe by using store baked brownie bites. If you are in any type of time crunch, as we often are this time of year, this will save you a lot of time. I used dried cranberries w/orange and fresh pistachio nuts for this recipe. I dipped some of the brownies balls in milk chocolate, some in powdered sugar and some I  did not dip at all. They all taste amazing! I hope you enjoy them! 

Cranberry Orange Pistachio Brownie Balls

(makes 2-3 dozen brownie balls)

(printable recipe at end of page)

25 small Brownie Bites

1/2 cup chopped Pistachios

1/2 cup Orange Cranberries

10 ounces Milk Chocolate - chopped 

4-5 tablespoon Sweetened Condensed Milk

10 ounces Milk Chocolate-chopped 

Confectioners Sugar

These are the brownies that I used. I purchased them at Sam's Club and they taste wonderful!

Crumble the brownies into small pieces, then place them in a mixing bowl. Mix condensed milk with the chopped milk chocolate. Heat in the microwave or on the stove using low heat. Let chocolate cool a little. Add the pistachios, orange cranberries, and melted chocolate. I mixed them with a fork at first, but it was only a few minutes when I put on some disposable kitchen gloves and used my hands to mix everything together. Much quicker, and a better mix!

Use a tablespoon scoop to pull your mix from the bowl. Roll the scoops into chocolate balls. Place them on a cutting board or wax paper. Refrigerate if necessary. It is sometimes easier to work with when the chocolate is a bit chilled. Melt the chocolate for dipping the balls. Roll some in confectioners sugar, and some plain if you want. They taste fantastic anyway you make them!
