Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the brownie batter according to the instructions on the box, combining the mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and water in a mixing bowl.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Avoid overbaking.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
Once cooled, use a fork to crumble the brownies into a large mixing bowl. The texture should be fine and crumbly.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth to form a ganache.
Add 1/2 cup of the ganache to the crumbled brownies and mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together when pressed.
Roll the brownie mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to chill the truffle balls for 30 minutes.
Reheat the remaining ganache until smooth, if needed. Dip each brownie ball into the ganache, coating completely, and use a fork to lift and let excess drip off.
Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. While the ganache is still wet, sprinkle with cocoa powder, sprinkles, or powdered sugar as desired.
Refrigerate the truffles for an additional 15 minutes, or until the ganache has set. Serve chilled, and enjoy!
