Double chocolate brownie Zebra Droppings are as much fun to eat as they are to make :)

Zebra Droppings take brownies to the next level of epicurean nirvana.

Step 1: Ingredients and Tools

Makes about 2 dozen :)

Ingredients:

Betty Crocker Fudge Brownie Mix

2/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup water

2 eggs

1 package of dipping chocolate or candy coating (OR I like to use a mix of dipping chocolate, wafers and chips, about 1/2 pack of dipping chocolate, 1/3 pack of wafers, 1/3 pack of chocolate chips)

1/4 package of white chocolate chips or wafers

Tools:

Wax paper covered cookie sheet

Toothpick or fork

9 x 13 baking pan sprayed with cookie spray

baggie

scissors

spoon

bowl or measuring cup

Step 2: Prepare Brownie Mix

Prepare brownie mix according to package directions and let cool.

With spoon scoop out a heaping tablespoon of cooked brownie and lightly roll into a ball between your palms and place on waxed paper covered cookie sheet.

Note: For best results...If your brownies cook up with a crispy edge...score a brownie edge snack for yourself, but avoid using the crispy edges in your zebra droppings.

Step 3: Melt Chocolate

Melt chocolate in microwave according to package directions. I use a bowl or measuring cup and stir after every 30 seconds until melted (about 2 minutes total).

Notes: Do not use a wet spoon to stir chocolate or drip water into your chocolate, it will make the chocolate seize up. If needed, you can make your chocolate thinner by adding a dollop or about 1 teaspoon of solid shortening.

Step 4: Dip

Use a toothpick or fork to dip brownie balls into melted chocolate. Place back on your wax paper covered cookie sheet.

With a spoon add a little chocolate to top of brownie bit and make a circle motion to make the decorative swirl on top. Chill in refrigerator until chocolate is hard, about 10 minutes.
