Decadent Brownie Pops Recipes

BROWNIE POPS THREE WAYS

Steps:

• Scoop eight 1/2-teaspoon pieces of cheesecake, roll into balls and place them on a plate. Scoop eight 1/2-teaspoon pieces of cookie dough, roll into balls and place them on the same plate. Freeze the cheesecake and cookie balls until hard, at least 30 minutes. Quarter the marshmallows and set aside.
• Prepare the brownie mix according to the directions for an 8-inch square pan. Cool to room temperature.
• Crumble the brownies into as fine a crumb as possible in a medium bowl; you should have about 2 cups. Measure out a 1-ounce portion, squeeze it into a ball and then press it into a flat circle in your palm, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Put a cheesecake ball in the middle of the brownie circle. Close the brownie around the ball and press to seal. Roll into a very smooth ball and place on a baking sheet. Continue until you have 8 of each flavor--cheesecake, cookie dough and marshmallow. Separate the brownie pops by filling flavor, so you know which chocolate and topping to use later.
• Put the white chocolate and 1 teaspoon of the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each one, until melted, about 90 seconds. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the chocolate, then adhere it to the center of a brownie ball. Refrigerate to set, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Re-melt the white chocolate if necessary. Dip the brownies with the cheesecake filling in the white chocolate and allow the excess to drip off. Sprinkle with the crushed strawberries and stand them upright until the chocolate is set.
• Put the dark chocolate and 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each one, until melted, about 90 seconds. Dip the brownies with the cookie dough filling in the dark chocolate and allow the excess to drip off. Sprinkle with the rainbow nonpareils and stand them upright until the chocolate is set.
• Put the milk chocolate and remaining 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each one, until melted, about 90 seconds. Dip the brownies with the marshmallow filling in the milk chocolate and allow the excess to drip off. Sprinkle with the graham cracker dust and stand them upright until the chocolate is set.

BROWNIE DECADENCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 9 by 13 inch baking pan by greasing with butter or spraying with a cooking spray (such as Pam). Melt butter in a large saucepan. Over low heat add unsweetened chocolate and stir until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat, mix in sugar (in saucepan). Add eggs and vanilla, stir until incorporated. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and stir just till flour is mixed in. Gently stir in white chocolate. Spread mixture in prepared pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes just until brownies begin to pull away from the sides. Remove from oven and let cool completely. While brownies are baking, prepare ganache topping. Over low heat in a medium saucepan, bring heavy cream to the boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Let sit for a few minutes to melt chocolate. Stir until all chocolate is melted. Let mixture cool and thicken, stirring occasionally for about 20 to 30 minutes. Spread chocolate ganache over completely cooled bownies. Press chopped, toasted pecans into the ganache. Let ganache harden and then cut into squares and then into triangles. Carefully remove from pan and serve on a garnished plate.

• Form brownie mixture into 1-inch balls; arrange on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Insert a lollipop stick into each brownie ball.
• Melt chocolate coating and chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Keep warm.
