Ingredients

• ⅔ cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup rum
• ½ cup chocolate chips (Optional)
• 1 (18.25 ounce) package fudge brownie mix (such as Betty Crocker™)
• 1 ½ cups white rum, or more as needed
• 1 (8 ounce) container chocolate shell topping (such as Magic Shell®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.

Step 2

Combine brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and rum for brownies in a large bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread batter into the prepared baking pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side of the pan comes out clean, 38 to 40 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Cut brownies into 20 squares. Roll each square into a ball about the size of a golf ball.

Step 5

Pour rum for coating into a bowl. Pour entire contents of chocolate shell topping into a separate bowl. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.

Step 6

Submerge each brownie ball in rum for about 2 seconds, dip into shell topping to coat, and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining balls. Place in the refrigerator until chocolate coating is hard, 10 to 15 minutes.
