Ingredients
Scale
Brownies
- 18 oz box brownie mix
- Water, oil, and eggs (quantities as per brownie mix box instructions)
Dipping & Decoration
- 16 popsicle sticks
- 12 ounces white melting chocolate
- Holiday sprinkles of your choice
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the brownies: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box, combining the mix with water, oil, and eggs as required. Pour the prepared batter into the baking dish and bake according to the box directions.
- Cool and chill: Once baked, place the dish on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then transfer the entire dish into the freezer for 45 to 60 minutes to chill and firm up the brownies.
- Cut and insert sticks: Remove foil from the sides of the baking dish and transfer the whole brownie block onto a parchment-lined cutting board. Cut the brownies into 16 equal squares and insert one popsicle stick into each square.
- Melt the white chocolate: Using a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and set nearby for dipping.
- Dip the brownie pops: Quickly dip a corner of each brownie pop into the melted white chocolate. Work one pop at a time to ensure the chocolate doesn’t harden before dipping.
- Add sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle your chosen holiday decorations on the melted chocolate coating, then set the brownie pop onto parchment paper or a cooling rack to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Chill to set: After all pops have been dipped and decorated, refrigerate them for about 10 minutes to fully set the white chocolate coating.
Notes
- Use an aluminum foil lining for easier removal of the brownies from the baking dish.
- Be sure to chill brownies thoroughly before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- Work quickly when dipping the brownies in melted chocolate to avoid it hardening prematurely.
- Choose holiday-themed sprinkles for a festive touch that suits your decoration preference.
- Refrigerate the dipped pops to help the chocolate coating harden faster and hold sprinkles in place.
