    • Dump the brownies into a bowl along with the cream cheese. Blend until the mixture is a smooth color and texture. Refrigerate the brownie mixture for about 20 minutes.
    • Remove from the refrigerator and scoop the mixture into 1 tablespoon balls. Smooth them with your hand and place them on a parchment lined pan. Place them back in the refrigerator to chill for another 20 minutes.
    • When the balls are almost chilled, heat the candy coating along with the coconut oil in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat this until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
    • Remove the balls from the refrigerator and dip them one at a time in the candy coating. Place the dipped ball back onto the parchment paper and top with an Andes mint triangle.
    • Allow these truffles to cool at room temperature. Serve immediately or chill in an airtight container for up to a week.
