Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box Betty Crocker™ Milk Chocolate Brownie Mix
- Water, vegetable oil, and eggs as required on brownie mix box (for cakelike brownies)
Frosting Mixture
- 1/3 cup from 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Milk Chocolate Frosting
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chopped Butterfinger™ candy bars (from 10-oz package)
Decoration & Assembly
- 4 cups white candy melts or coating wafers, melted
- 38 paper lollipop sticks
- 76 candy eyes
- Block of plastic foam (for drying)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Make and bake the brownie mix as directed on the box to achieve cakelike brownies, using water, oil, and eggs. Once baked, cool completely. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.
- Mix Frosting and Batter: In a small bowl, blend the chocolate frosting with peanut butter until smooth. Crumble the cooled brownies into a large bowl, discarding the edges, and stir in the chopped Butterfinger candy bars. Add the frosting mixture and mix thoroughly to combine.
- Shape Brownie Balls: Form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared cookie sheet. Refrigerate the brownie balls until firm, approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
- Insert Lollipop Sticks: Reserve 1 cup of melted white candy melts. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into the remaining melted candy and insert the stick halfway into each brownie ball. Place the sticks with brownie balls back onto the cookie sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
- Coat the Brownie Pops: Remove brownie pops from the refrigerator a few at a time. Dip each ball fully into the melted white candy coating, tapping off excess. Allow to stand until the coating is set.
- Decorate as Mummies: Spoon the reserved melted candy melts into a resealable plastic bag, seal, and cut a small corner off the bag. Pipe crisscross lines onto each coated brownie ball to create mummy bandage effects. Immediately attach two candy eyes per pop. Poke the opposite end of each stick into a block of plastic foam to allow the mummy pops to stand and set completely.
Notes
- Use cakelike brownies for easier shaping and better consistency.
- Chilling the brownie balls helps them hold their shape and makes coating easier.
- White candy melts can be found at baking supply stores or online; they provide a smooth coating for decorating.
- Use candy eyes for a fun and spooky mummy look, perfect for Halloween parties.
- Store the finished pops in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 3 days.
