  • Red velvet cake mix 1 box
  • Eggs 3
  • Vegetable oil 1/2 cup
  • Water 1/4 cup
  • Cream cheese frosting 1/2 cup
  • Cake pop sticks 12
  • Candy melts or chocolate 1 cup

Take note
Be careful not to overcook the brownie pops, as they can become dry and lose their moist, cake-like texture.

1

Mixing up the magic

In a mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir until well combined and smooth.

2

Baking and cooling

Pour the batter into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely.

3

Crumbling the deliciousness

Once the brownie has cooled, crumble it into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl.

4

Forming the pops

Add the cream cheese frosting to the bowl with the brownie crumbs. Use your hands to mix everything together until the mixture is well combined and holds its shape when pressed.

5

Rolling into perfection

Take about a tablespoon-sized portion of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6

Freezing for stability

Pop the baking sheet with the brownie balls into the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm enough to hold a stick.

7

Adding a stick of fun

Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Insert a cake pop stick into each brownie ball, making sure it goes about halfway through.

8

Dipping in deliciousness

Melt the candy melts or chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions. Dip each brownie pop into the melted candy or chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place it back on the baking sheet.

9

Sprinkle the magic

While the melted candy or chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your favorite toppings, like colored sugar, sprinkles, or crushed cookies, on top of each brownie pop to make them extra special.

10

Setting the pops

Place the baking sheet with the finished brownie pops in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the candy or chocolate coating is completely set.

11

Let the party begin

Once the coating is set, your Red Velvet Brownie Pops are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them at parties, share them with friends, or just treat yourself to a delightful bite-sized dessert.
