Description
Decadent chocolate brownie cake pops dipped in chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles, perfect for parties and celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudgy texture)
- 2–3 Tbsp chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 12 oz milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate melting wafers (or chopped chocolate)
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for a smoother dip)
- Rainbow sprinkles
- 12–16 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment.
- Melt butter, whisk in sugar, then whisk in eggs and vanilla.
- Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Spread into pan and bake 20–25 minutes (center should be set but still fudgy). Cool completely.
- Crumble cooled brownies into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Add 2 Tbsp frosting and mix until the crumbs hold together when pressed. Add 1 more Tbsp only if needed.
- Scoop and roll into 1 1/2-inch balls (about 2 Tbsp each). Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill 30 minutes (or freeze 10–15 minutes) until firm.
- Melt a small amount of chocolate. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate, then insert halfway into each brownie ball. Chill 10 minutes to set.
- Melt remaining chocolate (stir in coconut oil if using). Dip each pop, gently tapping off excess. Immediately top with rainbow sprinkles.
- Stand pops upright in a foam block/cup filled with rice or lay on parchment. Let set until chocolate is firm.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best results.
- Chilling the brownie balls helps them hold their shape when dipping.
- If the chocolate is too thick, add a little coconut oil to thin it.
- Store cake pops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
