- Press brownie cake dough evenly into a parchment lined 8×8 baking dish. Smooth out the top with a wet knife or spatula–doesn’t have to be perfect as this will get broken up into crumbs later.
- Bake for 22 minutes at 350 degrees in your preheated oven–it will still be soft in the center when you take it out of the oven–just like a batch of brownies in that way.
- Let cool completely–we place our baking dish in the freezer for about 2o minutes, works beautifully and quickly!
- After cooling, break up the brownie cake into crumbs–any crusty areas will soften as this brownie cake is very dense and moist. Form into 18-20 cake balls by squeezing a little bunch of crumbs together and shaping them into a circle. Place formed cake balls in the freezer to harden for 20 minutes.
- A few minutes before you take them out of the freezer, go ahead and melt your chocolate. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt your chocolate at 30 second intervals, stirring each time. Mix in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to thin the chocolate for easier dipping if desired.
- Dip chilled cake balls into chocolate, lift them out with a fork and place them onto a parchment lined cookie sheet or plate. Place them in the freezer again to harden, just about 10 minutes. You can make your glaze if desired now: Add melted butter, milk and vanilla to a medium sized bowl. Sift Swerve Confectioner and salt over top. Mix together with fork or whisk until smooth. You can whisk in more milk to loosen it up if it thickens before you use it.
- For decor, drizzled melted chocolate and glaze over the finished, chilled bonbons. They will need to be chilled once more to allow the drizzle to harden–just a few more minutes in the freezer.
- Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
