Lindor Lindt Brownies
Well this is a ridiculous recipe if ever I saw one. I mean, who would ever have left over Lindt Lindor balls hanging around uneaten?

But, first things first, last week was another fantastic Festive Food Friday linky on the blog.

Some of my favourites from last week were Olive, Tomato and Herb Christmas Tree Bread from Tales from the Kitchen Shed, White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge from Misplaced Brit, Baked Camembert with Chilli Jam and Rosemary by De Tout Coeur Limousin and Rudolph Cake Pops by A Strong Coffee.

I have a bit of a all or nothing nature you know. (I can hear my friends snorting at the word ‘bit’..) This means that for 11 months of the year I am unable to have Lindor balls in the house. I. Cannot. Resist. Them. That melting centre that somehow feels colder than the rest. I’m not sure why, but they feel very festive to me. Perhaps it’s the red packaging or the fact that Christmas is my self made opportunity to fully indulge in them.

So, what could be better than eating a box of these with a cup of tea in front of the fire? Eating them encased in a chocolate brownie of course. The balls turn into a rich, gooey, dense truffled centre. These are about as rich as any treat could be, but hey, it’s Christmas!

Lindt Lindor Festive Brownies

Delicious chocolate brownies with a hidden Lindor Lindt surprise.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 18

Ingredients 

  • 200 g 70% Dark chocolate
  • 100 g Milk chocolate
  • 250 g Salted butter, you can use unsalted if it's all you have, just add a pinch of salt, it helps to bring out the chocolate flavours
  • 300 g Soft light brown sugar
  • 4 Large eggs
  • 175 g Plain flour
  • 337 g Lindt Lindor Assorted Truffles

Instructions 

  • The night before you start, freeze your truffles in their wrappers.
  • The day you want to bake, pre-heat the oven to 180C.
  • Line 2, 25cm x 25cm tins with baking paper.
  • Melt the chocolates, butter and sugar together over a low heat.
  • Once they are melted, remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5 or 10 minutes.
  • Beat in each egg, one by one.
  • Stir in the flour.
  • Put enough of the batter in each of the tins to cover the base. (Probably about a quarter of the whole mixture into each of them.)
  • Pop 9 unwrapped truffles in each tray, spacing them evenly so you get a truffle in each bite.
  • Share the rest of the batter out between the two tins to cover the truffles.
  • Smooth out with a spatula (there will still be bit lumps where the truffles are, but just make sure they are covered with batter so they don't melt too quickly in the oven).
  • Bake for about 20 minutes. A skewer should come out only just clean. You could test at 17 minutes and again at 20 minutes just in case.
  • As always, remember that depending on your oven it could take up to 10 minutes longer, but please please try not to overcook them. Brownies are always better under-done than over.
  • Wait until totally cold (sorry, a pain I know) before cutting and eating.

  1. We had tonnes of Lindt truffles leftover from last Christmas that were given to us as a Christmas gift and they were past their best before date, so not ideal for eating on their own, but still perfectly tasty (inside just not as soft). Went in search of a recipe to use them up and came across this! Turned out AMAZING. I didn’t even use ANY proper baking chocolate or any other chocolate bars – I froze the hazelnut and the white chocolate truffles ones, then melted the dark and the milk ones, in rough proportion to your recipe. I thought they’d turn out too sweet, but I really wanted to use up the chocolates. They’re DELICIOUS. However, I had a smaller baking tray from the dollar store and the recipe filled it out just enough so I’m not sure how it would have went with a 25×25 tray. Thanks a bunch!!

  2. 5 stars
