For a richer chocolate experience, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If the truffle mixture is too soft to roll, chill it for a longer period. Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch glass pan with cooking spray. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs. Stir vigorously with a spoon for approximately 50 strokes until well combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Bake time: 28-31 minutes)
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for about 10 minutes. (Cooling time: 10 minutes)
Break the warm brownies into a large bowl. Add the chopped mint thins and stir to combine, allowing the brownies' residual heat to gently melt the chocolate. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
Form the mixture into approximately 1 1/2-inch balls, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape. Chill the formed truffles in the refrigerator. (Chill time: 20 minutes)
In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
Dip each chilled brownie ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to turn and coat evenly. Lift the truffle, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped truffles onto a tray lined with waxed or parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle with green and white candy sprinkles. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
Refrigerate the truffles for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set quickly. Alternatively, let them sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. (Setting time: 5-20 minutes)
