    easter Peep brownie pops

    Mar 27, 2013 · 2 Comments


    You know what I love? When I'm just looking around on Pinterest, I see a picture, and I'm immediately like, "YES. This will be made. Like, immediately." These brownie pops were definitely like that! Inspired by THIS picture, I honestly didn't even look at the original recipe before making them. I actually still haven't... just because I loved the idea so much that I wanted to do it the way I thought was right! Which did actually work, by the way. πŸ™‚



    The reason I was on Pinterest in the first place was because I was looking for a fun, Eastery treat to bring to my sorority's pledge class Easter social! If you know me, you know I haveΒ to be the one bringing something unbearably adorable and sugary. These brownie pops fit the bill so perfectly! Super cute, bright, festive, and, let's be honest... who doesn't love dessert on a stick?! My favorite part was the fact that these are made completely from supermarket shortcuts. Ideally, yes, I would have made everything from scratch. Buuut... I am a college student on a college budget with a college amount of time and I knew over 25 people were going to attend the social. What's a girl to do? Get creative, of course!


    In the name of experimenting, I bought the new Duncan Hines starter frosting! I know you've seen it in stores, you buy a jar of their plain white frosting, and buy a special flavoring packet to mix in yourself. I purchased the blue cotton candy variety to be festive. And add more sugar, obviously. To be completely honest, I am not so sure if it was really worth my money... not the cotton candy flavor, at least. To me, it tasted like regular store-bought frosting! I am sure if you buy a more distinctive flavor, such as mint chocolate or caramel apple, it will make a bigger difference. Confession: the only reason I even bought it was cause I had a $1 off coupon. But now I know! And you know, too. So you don't have to spend like $4 on blue cotton candy frosting that tastes like vanilla. πŸ˜‰



    These were so fun to make though! And everyone loved them, I got so many compliments on how good and how cute they were. Feel free to use any color Peeps you like! These were for a sorority event so pink was the obvious choice. πŸ™‚ Please please PLEASE make these for your Easter events this weekend! And let me know if you liked them. I am impatiently awaiting your response. πŸ™‚

    Easter Peep Brownie Pops
    Inspired by Munchkin Munchies
    Yields:Β 18-20 pops

    2 boxes of brownie mix
    eggs, water, and oil called for on brownie mix
    frosting {homemade or storebought}
    sprinkles
    2 boxes of Easter bunny Peeps {you will have leftovers!}
    short, thick skewers or popsicle sticks

    Bake brownies in a 8x10 {or 9x9} pan, according to package directions. Set aside and let coolΒ completely. Once cooled, cut into equal rectangular shapes... aim for 8-10 per pan! When they are all cut, insert your skewers or popsicle sticks into the brownies. I found that inserting them on the crust side resulted in them being more sturdy and less likely to break off. Frost the brownie pops, top each with one Peep, and cover liberally with sprinkles. Store in fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy! πŸ™‚
