Cubs Brownie Pops…*
…bite-size fudgy brownies
As much as I’d like to say I put a lot of thought into this one, the truth is, I had extra brownies leftover from my ‘Brownie Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies’that I needed to use before I ate them all. I wanted to make something quick and easy, but I also wanted to tap into my sprinkles collection, since I haven’t in a very long time. To my surprise, I found a large stash of Cubs cupcake toppers that I made for my CubCakes a few weeks ago. Within minutes, I was cutting into the brownies and crafting mini chocolate pops, similar to the technique used to make Bakerella’s Cake Pops. With a little buttercream, chocolate, and colorful nonpareils, you can whip up these adorable brownie pops in no time. I have yet to make cake balls, but I know how popular they are so I promise to jump on that bandwagon as soon as I finish my ‘to-bake list’….which by the way, is up to 4 pages long. Goodness gracious, it’s time to break out the sugar and flour and get to work!
