Brownie truffles

Batch of brownies come out less-than-ideal? Turn them into these delights:

Ingredients:

• One batch of ho-hum brownies, cooled
• Heavy cream
• Shakes of rum (optional)

The magic:

1. Mash up the brownies with a pastry cutter, or slash at them with knives, or whatever it takes to turn them into a crumbly pile.
2. Add several shakes of rum and splashes of cream until it's a thick, sticky mass the consistency of cream cheese.
3. Use a cookie scoop to form dense, evenly sized balls (really pack it in there) and roll each ball in cocoa powder. 
4. Place truffles into the freezer for 30 minutes to set. Voilà!

Note: The cocoa powder will eventually get moist and disappear into the truffles. 

Variations: Try rolling them in cinnamon, powdered sugar, sprinkles, coconut flakes, or a shimmery decorative topping. Instead of rum, try whisky, brandy, or cointreau.
