Why measure in grams?
If you ask any bakery how they measure, most will say they measure in grams. Measuring by weight is more reliable for desserts because some recipes don’t specify if you should pack your ingredients and do not take into account how different people measure their ingredients.
A common mistake people make in measuring ingredients is when measuring brown sugar. Brown sugar is clumpier than normal sugar because it is mixed with molasses. 100 grams of white sugar is equivalent to 100 grams of packed brown sugar—though most people don’t pack their brown sugar the same way, so you will most likely not get the same measurement unless using a scale.
Food scales are such an amazing and cheap investment to make for your kitchen because they will allow you to copy recipes perfectly because they are far more reliable and allow you to not use as many dishes! Click here to order a food scale!

Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare boxed brownie mix or follow my fudgy boxed brownie copycat recipe.
Step 2
Brownies: Mix together your butter (melted), granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Add in vanilla extract and eggs and whip until mixture goes from yellow to off-white. (This gives brownies the crackly top ;)
Mix in vegetable oil until fully incorporated.
Mix in dry ingredients—cocoa powder, All-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking soda—until mixture is partially smooth.
Step 3
Pour brownie batter into greased and parchment paper lined square pan.
Bake at 350 for 21-23 minutes.
Step 4
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from pan. Cut off the brownie edges (to avoid hard chunks in your brownie balls) and crush up the brownie center.
Step 5
Roll crushed brownie into 1 tbsp balls and place on tray/plate. Chill for 20-30 minutes.
Step 6
Once chilled, heat up white chocolate and pop each brownie ball into your melted chocolate. Scoop out with a fork and slide off of the fork, onto a parchment paper lined tray, using another fork. Repeat for all brownie balls. Pop these in the fridge to chill for 5-10 minutes.
Step 7
Add remaining chocolate into piping bag and drizzle onto brownie balls. Place 2 eyes on each ball and chill once more.
Step 8
Eat fresh or store in the fridge for up to 10 days!
