Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box (≈18 oz) brownie mix + ingredients listed on box

Chocolate Coating

  • 12 oz chocolate melting wafers

  • Sprinkles — for decoration

Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 oz plain cream cheese, softened

  • 4 tbsp salted butter, softened

  • 1¾ cups powdered sugar

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tbsp heavy cream

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1 — Bake the Brownies

  1. Prepare brownies according to package directions.

  2. Allow them to cool completely.

Step 2 — Make the Frosting

  1. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese + butter until creamy.

  2. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, heavy cream, and vanilla.

  3. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 3 — Form the Cake Pops

  1. Trim off brownie edges if too crispy.

  2. Break remaining brownies into a large bowl.

  3. Add 1 cup frosting and mix with a hand mixer.

  4. Add ¼–½ cup more frosting as needed — dough should hold its shape when rolled.

  5. Scoop and roll 1½ tbsp balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray.

  6. Chill for 15 minutes.

Step 4 — Attach Sticks

  1. Melt ¼ cup chocolate wafers (≈30 seconds).

  2. Dip the end of each cake pop stick in chocolate and insert into a brownie ball.

  3. Chill again for 30 minutes.

Step 5 — Dip & Decorate

  1. Melt remaining chocolate wafers in 30-second then 15-second increments until smooth.

  2. Dip each cake pop, letting excess drip off.

  3. Add sprinkles immediately before chocolate sets.

  4. Chill 15 minutes to harden the shell.

Notes

  • Fully cooled brownies help prevent crumbs in the coating.

  • If pops crack while dipping → the chocolate is too hot or pops too cold — let them warm slightly.

  • If pops won’t stay on sticks → add a little more frosting for stability.

  • Use good-quality melting chocolate for the smoothest finish.
