Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownies:
- 1 box of brownie mix (or homemade brownie recipe)
- Ingredients required for the brownie mix (typically eggs, oil, and water—check your box instructions)
For the Coating & Toppings:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for dipping)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (for dipping chocolate)
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
- Crushed nuts (such as walnuts or pecans, optional)
- Shredded coconut (optional)
- Extra chocolate chips, crushed candies, or other favorite toppings (optional)
- 12 wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Mix:
- Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix instructions.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the box directions (usually mixing eggs, oil, and water into the brownie mix).
- Bake the Brownies:
- Pour the brownie batter into a greased 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch square baking pan.
- Bake according to the instructions on the box (usually about 20-30 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the Brownies:
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, remove them from the pan and cut them into squares (about 12-16 pieces, depending on the size you want).
- Insert the Sticks:
- Gently insert a wooden skewer or popsicle stick into the center of each brownie square. Be careful not to push it all the way through the brownie.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Brownies:
- Dip each brownie (on a stick) into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. You can also drizzle the chocolate over the brownies if you prefer less coverage.
- Add Toppings:
- Before the chocolate hardens, dip or sprinkle your brownies with toppings like sprinkles, crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or additional chocolate chips.
- Let Set:
- Place the dipped brownies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool at room temperature, or place them in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to help the chocolate set.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the brownies on sticks as a fun and portable dessert, perfect for parties, barbecues, or snack time!
Notes
- Feel free to get creative with toppings—candy bits, crushed cookies, or even marshmallows can make fun additions!
- If you don’t want to dip the brownies in chocolate, you can drizzle the melted chocolate over the top for a simpler decoration.
- If you’re making these for a party, consider serving them in individual cups or mason jars for a cute presentation.
