Easy Brownie Cake Pops recipe starts with a box mix and transforms into decadent cake pops. They are fudgy and delicious while being super easy to make.
Cake pops and our Cakesicles are so much fun to make and eat. I thought I would try this variation with brownies and it did not disappoint.
These decadent and fudgy brownie are dipped in chocolate and topped with sprinkles. They are so pretty and even more delicious.
The sweet chocolate is a dream for any dessert fan along with Edible Brownie Batter, Oreo Brownies Recipe, Buckeye Brownies Recipe and Brownie Pie.

How to Make Brownie Cake Pops
Step 1. Make the brownies. Prepare the fudge brownies based on the package instructions. Allow them to cool completely at room temperature in the baking pan. How to Tell if Brownies are Done
Step 2. Break apart the baked brownies. Remove the brownies from the pan. Remove the outside layer from the brownies and discard. Crumble the remaining brownies into a large bowl. Mash the brownie crumbles together.
Step 3. From into balls. Shape the mashed brownies into balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. I used a cookie scoop to make sure each one is the same size. You can use a spoon or tablespoons if you don’t have one.
Step 4. Place a cake pop stick into each one. Then freeze for 2 hours.
Step 5. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the candy melts and the shortening. Microwave in 30 second intervals. Make sure to stir after each one until melted.
Step 6. Coat the brownie balls. Dip each brownie ball into the melted candy melts. Make sure that the candy covers the brownie ball completely. Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Step 7. Then place the stick of cake pops in a Styrofoam block while the candy dries and solidifies. Add the sprinkles immediately before the candy dries.
How to Decorate
- Sprinkles. Top with any type of sprinkles you like for any occasion.
- Melted chocolate. Melt chocolate chips or white chocolate. Drizzle on the top of each one. You can use one or both. I think the combination would be pretty.
- Toppings. Decorate with chopped nuts, coconut or anything you like.
- Candy Melts. You can use different colors candy melts to decorate these treats. Try dipping into pink for Valentine’s Day, Orange for Halloween and more. This is a fun recipe that can work for any occasion or holiday.
