Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • White chocolate chips or melting wafers for drizzling
  • Red, white, and blue sprinkles
  • Wooden popsicle sticks (about 4-inch length)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  3. In another bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Slowly fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour.
  8. Lift brownies from pan using parchment overhang and cut into 16 even 2-inch squares.
  9. Insert a wooden popsicle stick halfway into each brownie square.
  10. Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second bursts in microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
  11. Dip each brownie pop into melted chocolate, coating about 3/4 of the pop. Let excess drip off.
  12. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the pops and immediately sprinkle with red, white, and blue decorations.
  13. Allow chocolate coating to harden at room temperature or chill in fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter. Do not overbake brownies to keep them fudgy. Cool brownies completely before dipping to prevent chocolate from melting off. Reheat chocolate gently if it hardens during dipping. Store in airtight container with parchment paper between layers to avoid sticking. Can be made ahead and stored in fridge or freezer.
