Brownie Pops

I've tried to make bakerella's cake pops before, but they didn't work out for me. They always fell apart. I guess using cake was to fragile, but with brownies they are firmer so it works better. I got this recipe from Pampered Chef. They make a pretty big mess, but they are so yummy. 1 pkg fudge brownie mix (plus ingredients to make brownies)
24 candy canes (I used minis)
10 oz chocolate-flavored almond bark (I used the chocolate candy melts, white and brown)
sprinkles for topping (my favorite was the crushed candy cane)

yield: 24 pops

1. Bake brownies in pan as directed
2. Meanwhile break off straight ends of candy cans for the sticks. Use the left over hook part to crush up to use later for topping
3. When brownies are still warm take a scooper (pampered chef medium scoop works well) and scoop brownie into 24 rounded scoops. Roll in hands to make a ball shape (entire brownie will be used)
4. Insert candy cane sticks in each ball.
5. Melt chocolate bark (or candy melts) as directed. If its not smooth you can add some veggetable oil to thin it out. Spoon chocolate on to each ball. And sprinkle with desired toppings. Stand upright into mini cupcake liners
