Ingredients
- butter to grease pan
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup oil
- 1½ cups sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- 12 ounces good quality chocolate preferably 70% cocoa
- 24 lollipop sticks
Toppings:
- assorted sprinkles
- toasted coconut
- toasted nuts
- broken pretzel pieces
- toffee pieces
Instructions
-
Pre-heat the oven to 350°Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter. Then, line the pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to drape over two opposite sides of the pan by two inches.
-
Combine the eggs, oil and sugar in a bowl. In a second bowl, combine the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined – do not over mix. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
-
Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, until the batter has set in the middle. (To test this, insert a skewer into the center of the brownie. It should have no sticky batter on it when you remove it.)
-
Transfer the pan to a cooling rack. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the brownies and let them continue to cool completely in the pan.
-
When cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan, using the parchment paper as handles. Refrigerate the brownies for at least 6 hours.
-
Cut the brownies into 24 rectangles, but dividing the brownies four ways in one direction and six ways in the other.
-
Place the toppings into small bowls or dishes.
-
Set up a double boiler by placing a metal bowl over a small pot of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Place two thirds of the chocolate into the bowl. Let the chocolate sit until it starts to melt, then stir until completely melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and add the rest of the chocolate. Stir until melted to quick-temper the chocolate.
-
Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and then push the stick through the middle of the brownie through one of the cut edges. Carefully dip half of the brownie into the chocolate. Then immediately sprinkle some of the toppings onto the melted chocolate. Place the brownie pop on parchment paper to set.
-
Once the chocolate has set, wrap each brownie in individual cellophane candy bags to give away, or store in an air tight container.
