Description
Rich, fudgy brownie pops coated in smooth chocolate, filled with gooey caramel, and sprinkled with flaky sea salt. These bite-sized treats are fun to make, easy to customize, and perfect for any festive occasion.
Ingredients
For the Brownie Base:
- 1 batch of brownies (homemade or store-bought, baked and cooled)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt (plus extra for garnish)
For the Coating:
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Base:
- Crumble the baked and cooled brownies into a large mixing bowl, discarding any hard edges.
- Add caramel sauce and flaky sea salt to the crumbled brownies. Mix until the mixture forms a sticky, dough-like consistency.
- Form the Brownie Balls:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the brownie mixture and roll them into smooth balls.
- Place the brownie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Alternatively, use a double boiler for a smoother finish.
- Coat the Brownie Pops:
- Dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork or skewer to assist.
- Let excess chocolate drip off and place the coated brownie pops back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on each pop while the chocolate is still wet.
- Set and Serve:
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker results.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature for the perfect bite-sized indulgence.
Notes
- Fudgy brownies work best for this recipe due to their moist texture.
- Freezing the brownie balls before coating makes them easier to handle.
- High-quality chocolate improves the taste and appearance of the pops.
