Add in 1/3 cup almond butter and mix.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of milk and mix again.

Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, then fold until well combined.

Scoop the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper using a medium cookie scoop.

Set the brownie balls aside.

In a heatproof bowl, combine 6 oz of dark chocolate squares and 1 tablespoon of refined coconut oil.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.

Using tongs, roll each brownie ball in the melted chocolate.

Place the chocolate-coated balls in the refrigerator for about 3 minutes to let the chocolate harden.

After the first coating has hardened, dunk the balls again in the chocolate for a second coating.

Add sprinkles to the second coating before placing the balls back in the refrigerator for a few more minutes to harden the chocolate.
