Brownie Pops–Teacher appreciation Treat

You think I would have learned from my attempts at CAKE POPS as to what I really could get covered in chocolate.  Pretzels yes, cake like items not so much.

Well I saw these cute ideas in a Wilton Brownie Treat book as I was browsing a local craft store.  I thought I could do these and how cute for teacher appreciation idea.  I already had a large flower cookie cutter and a brownie mix at home.

My recipe called for chewy or cake like brownie versions.  I went with the cake version.

Once they were cooled I cut 6 flower shapes out of my 9×13 pan of brownies.  So far so good.

I then attempted dipping them in the melted chocolate discs.  This is when things got a little messy.  Thinking back maybe I should have froze the brownies slightly like the cake pops.

I did end up with 4 decently covered brownies.  Two were sacrificed to the children’s for a taste test.  I might say they were a chocolate lovers dream.

 

Once they were covered I added the pop.  Once they dried they were substantially durable.

I then melted another color in a sandwich bag (ziploc) and outlined the shape.  Then decided for the middle of the flower I would add some yellow sprinkles.  Make sure the outline is dry first or else you will have a mess.

Once the decorations are dried place them in a cello bag and tie with a green ribbon.  Feel free to add a green tag to look like the leaf with the children’s name and a cute saying like thanks for helping me grow.
