Tips & Tricks for Popsicle Brownies

Here's a recipe I found on Pintrest and made for a cookout. During my baking process I wrote down some tips and tricks to share so you have an easier time making them than I did.

Getting started tips

1. One batch only makes 12 popsicles so if you want more you need to make to boxes of brownies.
2. If you make 2 batches you will need 3 bags of candy melts.
3. Lining the pan with foil works great! If you don't have nonstick foil make sure you spray the foil with Pam cooking spray.
4. To cut the brownies lift the foil from the pan and then cut the brownies
5. Cut the brownies horizontally first then cut them into 6 vertical columns.


Decorating
1. Since I couldn't find the thicker sized popsicle sticks I used Wilton 6-in lollipop sticks and they worked just fine.
2. Push the stick the whole way to the top so that it is almost poking through the top.
3. If it pokes through the back, press it down and cover it with brownie. The brownies are flexibile and can easily be molded back into shape,
4. Submerging the whole brownie into the melted candy melts like the directions say = the brownie falling right off the stick into the bowl
5. Dip the top into the candy melts, "frost" the candy melt onto the sides and back, then flip the brownie and "frost the front"
6. Sprinkle on the sprinkles right after you cover the brownie with candy melts.
7. To speed up the hardening process stick the brownies in the fridge for 20mins.

They were a huge hit at the cookout I went to. Below is a picture of mine.
