Equipment

  • lollipop sticks

Ingredients

  • 1 box fudge brownie mix 18 oz.
  • eggs, melted butter and water (according to box)
  • 12 oz. chocolate candy melts
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional
  • sprinkles

Instructions

  • Spray a baking dish (8"x8" or 9"x13") with nonstick cooking spray. If you'd like to lift the brownies from the pan, line it with parchment paper.
  • Bake a batch of brownies according to the directions on the box. Let brownies cool in the baking dish for 1 hour.
  • Trim off the brownie edges if you'd like. I find that they are generally a little crispy and don't roll into balls as easily as the center section, but it's up to you.
  • Using a fork, mash brownies and mix until they are soft and scoopable. They should look like cookie dough.
  • Scoop balls of brownies using a medium cookie scoop (1.5").
  • Roll into a ball using your hands and place brownie balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
  • Insert a lollipop stick into the center of each brownie ball.
    Note: to really secure the sticks to the brownie pops you can dip the sticks in melted chocolate and then slide them into each brownie pop. As they chill in the freezer, the chocolate will harden inside the pop.
  • Freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Place chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. I like adding a teaspoon of coconut oil because I think it gives the chocolate an even smoother consistency, but it's completely up to you. Candy melts are easy to work with regardless.
  • Melt chocolate candy melts in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat for another 30 seconds (in 15-second increments) and stir until melted and smooth.
    It's better to underheat the chocolate vs. overheat. If your candy melts are ALMOST melted, just keep stirring. They'll keep melting as you stir, without having to put them back into the microwave.
  • Dip frozen brownie pops into chocolate.  You can also spoon chocolate over them instead of dipping them. Tap the lollipop stick against the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  • Sprinkle brownie cake pops immediately with sprinkles or other toppings before the chocolate hardens. Place them back on the cookie sheet and allow them to set up completely.
