Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box of brownie mix (or homemade brownie recipe)
- Ingredients required for the brownie mix, typically eggs, oil, and water (follow your box instructions)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Toppings (Optional)
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
- Crushed nuts such as walnuts or pecans
- Shredded coconut
- Extra chocolate chips, crushed candies, or other favorite toppings
Others
- 12 wooden skewers or popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Mix: Follow the instructions on your brownie mix box to combine all the necessary ingredients such as eggs, oil, and water, mixing thoroughly to form the batter.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan and bake according to the package directions, usually about 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the Brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to ensure they firm up enough to handle when skewering.
- Insert the Sticks: Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares. Gently insert wooden skewers or popsicle sticks into each brownie piece, ensuring the stick is secure but not breaking the brownie.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream together, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Dip the Brownies: Dip each brownie on a stick into the melted chocolate mixture, covering it as much as desired.
- Add Toppings: Immediately after dipping, sprinkle your choice of toppings such as sprinkles, crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or other decorations while the chocolate is still wet so they adhere properly.
- Let Set: Place the dipped brownies upright in a stand or on parchment paper and allow the chocolate coating to harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, the brownies on a stick are ready to serve. Enjoy this delightful treat at parties, gatherings, or as a fun dessert anytime.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are fully cooled before inserting sticks to prevent crumbling.
- Use a sturdy baking pan to achieve brownies thick enough to hold on sticks.
- You can customize toppings according to your preference for added texture and flavor.
- If the chocolate coating is too thick, add a little more cream to thin it out.
- Store brownies on a stick in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
