what you'll need (and feel free to use what you have in the pantry)
1/2 dozen brownies
1/2 cup frosting (i used whipped vanilla because that's what i had)
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
3/4 cup butterscotch morsels (obviously, you could just go with 100% chocolate if you want!)
sprinkles
straws or popsicle sticks
this recipe made 14 cake pops
1. mash brownies and then mix in frosting. roll mixture into ping-pong sized balls. (if the mixture is too tacky to work with, you can refrigerate it for 30 minutes to make it easier to work with.) line a baking sheet with parchment, and place balls on the tray and then put in fridge for 30 min.
2. melt 2 tbsp of chocolate and get your straws/popsicle sticks ready. take the balls from the fridge and dip the sticks into the chocolate and then insert into the balls. put them in the fridge again to let the chocolate set for 20 min or so. (the chocolate on the stick will act as "glue")
3. put your chocolate chips and butterscotch morsels into a microwave safe bowl and heat until smooth. in the meantime, put your sprinkles in small ramekin to get ready for dipping. get your cake pops from the fridge, and dip them into the chocolate butterscotch to coat them. then dip them into the sprinkles for extra decoration!
4. you can put your pops upright into a block of styrofoam, but i didn't have any handy. instead i laid some on their side and put others standing-up on the parchment-lined baking sheet. both methods worked fine. once all your pops are coated and decorated, put them back in the fridge for 30 min - 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set.
these are best enjoyed at room temperature, so remove them from the fridge at least 30 minutes prior to enjoying them so that they aren't super hard when you bite into them!
be warned: they are dangerously good!!!!!!!!
