Ingredients
- A fudgy brownie mix
- Dark chocolate wafers
- White chocolate wafers
- Craft sticks
- PPJimmies or other sprinkles
Directions
-
Make the Brownies. Make them according to the recipe or package directions. Bake them on parchment paper so you can remove them from the pan completely. Moist, fudgy brownies work best. With a greased knife, cut off the crusts and cut into small bars. Let them cool to where they are easy to handle.
-
Mold the brownies into balls. If your brownies are moist and fudgy, they will cling together easily. Grease your hands to keep them from getting too sticky. Try to roll the top of the brownie into the center of your ball. The crackley top has dry edges that make it hard to make your ball nice and round.
-
Insert craft sticks into each ball. Go ahead and puch them almost all the way down to the bottom. You want to make sure you dont lose your brownie ball while dipping. Let them cool completely before you start dipping them in chocolate.
-
Dip the brownies in melted dark chocolate. To melt the chocolate wafers, microwave in 15 second intervals stirring after each until they are smooth. Do not over do it. If you cook the chocolate it will not set up very pretty. Dip the brownie pops into the melted dark chocolate comepletely. We dont want to see any of the brownie. Mugs work very well for these. They are the perfect size and the thick mug holds the heat in so that the chocolate stays warm for a while. Let the chocolate set before you start dipping the pops in the white chocolate. They will no longer look shiney and will get a dull appearance when the chocolate is set up.
-
Dip the brownies in melted white chocolate. Only dip the pops 80% of the way into the white chocolate. It looks nice to see the dark chocolate layer peeking out. Let the white choclate set up a little bit before dipping them any sprinkles. If the chocolate is to drippy the sprinkles will drip right off your pop.
-
Roll the brownies in PPJimmies or other sprinkles. Standard paper muffin liners worked well to set out all my jimmies. Only dip them half way up the pops so you can still see the white chocolate layer. Roll them in the jimmies if you have to. Let them cool and tie a ribbon on each stick. If you are not going to be serving them right away wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and then tie with the ribbons.
