Helpful Tools
How to Make Valentine’s Day Brownie Pops
Pour the contents of your brownie mix into a large mixing bowl and add water, oil, and eggs. Mix until thoroughly combined
Pour the brownie mixture into an 8×8 pan that has been covered with aluminum foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Bake according to the instructions on the package.
After baking, let the brownies cool for 10 minutes and then freeze them for 45-60 minutes.
Remove the brownie from the freezer and then carefully take the aluminum foil off of the block of brownies. Place the whole block onto a cutting board and slice them into 16 equal squares and then push a popsicle stick into each one.
Melt your white chocolate over a double boiler or pop it in the microwave and melt very carefully, making sure it doesn’t burn.
Quickly, but carefully, dip the brownies into white chocolate and add sprinkles to each one. Place them on parchment paper to set, and once each brownie is complete, place them in the fridge for 10 minutes to fully set the chocolate.
Storage Tips for Valentine’s Brownies
These fun brownies for Valentine’s Day probably won’t last long, but if you have leftovers store them in an airtight container for 3-4 days at room temperature, or a week in the fridge.
Can I use something other than popsicle sticks?
I find that popsicle sticks work best for this Valentine’s Day dessert, but you could also use circular lollipop sticks!
Pro-Tips for the best Valentine’s Day Brownie Pops
- When dipping the brownies in the white chocolate, it will probably be easier to hold the brownie by hand instead of using the popsicle stick.
- As you dip your brownies into the white chocolate, you’ll probably see that little pieces of brownie flake off into the chocolate. Not to worry! The sprinkles will cover those little specks quite well. If you’re not wanting to add sprinkles, use a spoon to drizzle your chocolate onto the Valentine’s brownies instead.
- Don’t dip all the brownies into the chocolate and add sprinkles last, the chocolate will have begun to harden on the first few brownies and the sprinkles won’t stick. Add sprinkles to each brownies right after you have dipped them in chocolate!
A simple, yet sweet, Valentine’s Day treat! Who will you share one with?
