These festive and fudgy brownie pops are perfect for Fourth of July celebrations, featuring a rich chocolate base with white chocolate swirls and patriotic red, white, and blue sprinkles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup (60 g) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup red, white, and blue sanding sugar or sprinkles
  • 1 cup chocolate candy melts or dark chocolate (for coating)
  • Wooden lollipop sticks or sturdy skewers

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, letting some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk together until glossy and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold the white chocolate chips into the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  8. Cut the brownies into 1.5-inch (4 cm) squares. Insert a wooden lollipop stick halfway into each piece, twisting gently to secure.
  9. Melt the chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  10. Dip each brownie pop into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
  11. Decorate with sanding sugar or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Place the pops upright in a styrofoam block or on parchment paper to set.
  12. Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Do not overbake to keep brownies fudgy. Melt chocolate slowly to avoid burning. Chill brownies if too soft before inserting sticks. Sprinkle decorations immediately after dipping chocolate for best adhesion. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond flour; for dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate chips.
