Ingredient Notes
Frosted Brownies – I used a 13 oz container of frosted brownies from Publix, but any store-bought frosted brownies will work. The frosting helps bind everything together without needing additional ingredients.
Ghirardelli Melting Wafers – These melt super smooth and have great flavor. I used both the white and dark chocolate varieties for that double-dipped effect.
Blue Candy Color – Chefmaster gel-based candy color is perfect for tinting white melts without causing them to seize. If you’d rather skip coloring, you can use blue candy melts instead.
Lollipop Sticks – These turn your brownie balls into easy-to-serve pops. You can also use cake pop sticks or even paper straws for a festive touch.
Before You Bake
Can I use homemade brownies?
Yes! Just make sure they’re frosted and slightly fudgy so they hold together well when rolled.
Do I have to freeze them?
Freezing helps the brownie pops stay firm while dipping. Don’t skip this step—it makes coating them much easier.
What if I don’t have candy color?
Blue candy melts are a great alternative if you don’t have or want to use food coloring.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, they can be made 2–3 days ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
Father’s Day Brownie Pops
Ingredients
- 13 oz frosted brownies (I used Publix brand, but any frosted brownie works!)
- 1 bag Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Melting Wafers
- 1 bag Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers
- Blue Chefmaster Candy Color OR Blue Candy Melts
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, crumble the frosted brownies until they form a thick, dough-like consistency. You’re aiming for a soft, moldable texture—almost like batter.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion out 1½ tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each one between your hands to form a smooth sphere.
- Place the brownie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Insert a lollipop stick into the center of each ball. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Once chilled, melt the Ghirardelli Dark Melting Wafers according to the package instructions. Dip each brownie pop into the dark chocolate, covering it fully. Gently tap off the excess chocolate and return the pops to the baking sheet. Refrigerate until the coating is fully set.
- While the dark chocolate sets, melt the Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers. If using Chefmaster candy color, tint the white chocolate with your desired shade(s) of blue. Alternatively, melt blue candy melts.
- Dip each chilled pop halfway into the blue coating to create a two-tone effect. Place back on the baking sheet and refrigerate again until set.
- Once the chocolate is firm, bring to room temperature before serving.
FAQ
How long do Father’s Day Brownie Pops last in the fridge?
They’ll stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Can I make these brownie pops gluten-free?
Absolutely! Just use gluten-free frosted brownies to start—most other ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
What’s the best way to tint chocolate without it seizing?
Use an oil-based or gel candy color (like Chefmaster). Avoid liquid food coloring, which can cause the chocolate to clump.
Can I decorate these further?
Definitely! Add sprinkles, edible glitter, or even drizzle with a contrasting chocolate for extra flair.
Can I use sticks with decorations for Father’s Day?
Yes! Fun paper straws, mustache toppers, or Father’s Day-themed flags on the sticks make them extra festive.
Sprinkle of Fun
Make these Father’s Day Brownie Pops the night before, then surprise Dad with a homemade treat to kick off his special day. Pair the pops with a backyard brunch, a silly Dad Olympics (grill flipping, lawn mowing races, you name it), or a cozy movie marathon of his favorite classics. You could even package a few in a treat box with a handwritten note that says, “You’re the pop I look up to.” Simple, sweet, and perfect for Father’s Day.
