The original version of this unbelievably over-the-top truffle dessert tastes like it took all day to make! But after our makeover, it can be made with just 30 minutes of hands-on work, so you can focus on other things during this busy season.

Use Chocolate as Chips“After Easter, I put leftover solid or hollow chocolate bunnies or eggs in a plastic bag and pound them into small pieces,” relates Geraldine B. of Kersey, Pennsylvania. “I use them in place of chocolate chips in recipes.”

I made this as Christmas dessert for 12 people and it was a hit! Everyone loved it and I will be making it again for New Years with friends. Excellent and, most importantly, very easy to make!

ok, so I didn't exactly make this recipe, I used it to create a pumpkin spice truffle dessert. I used spice cake with pumpkin added, then for the next layer I used white chocolate chips with a few milk and dark chocolate chips with pumpkin and pumpkin spice. For the whipping cream layer I used both heavy and regular whipping cream with more pumpkin and pumpkin spice and a little powdered sugar then added the chocolate-pumpkin to that. I taste tested every layer to make sure it had the correct flavors and it was delicious, can't wait to cut into this and eat it :)

Great recipes for chocolate lovers! Surprised so many reviews fussed about it not being a lighter versions of original. You clearly state the makeover is in time, not calories. I'm sure you could make your own substitutions to make it lower in fat etc., but then it is dessert after all.

Made this for Christmas dinner dessert. It was fantastic & easy to make. After reading reviews I did make a few adjustments to the recipe- I used 2 cups milk chocolate chips & 1 cup semisweet chips & I did not use the coffee granules (my husband does not like a coffee/choc combo). I also kept it all in the springform pan while it chilled. It looked professional. Everyone asked where I bought it.

Taste was bitter and the cookies lost their crunch after refrigeration. Not worth the work to make it.

This is just an observation. Sometimes "Makeover" can also refer to a more simplified version, not necessarily healthier. I remember seeing a recipe for this that you had to make the brownies from scratch and took longer.I also dont see "healthy" listed anywhere in the description or see it in a "healthy" section so it was probably intended to refer to ease of preparation.

This recipe was delicious! I unfortunately forgot to buy the brownie mix so had to make that from scratch but either way, it was well worth it. I posted pictures of my dessert on my blog: heartforcooking.blogspot.com
