Instructions
Make the brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9" x 9" baking dish with parchment paper (on the bottom and sides), then spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in the microwave, then combine with the applesauce and cocoa powder, mixing with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Add the sugar, and beat until combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and incorporated.
- Add the flour and salt, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle the M&M's® Red Velvet on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the brownies have cooked through and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- When cooked, remove from the oven, and let cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Icing
- In a medium-sized bowl, whip the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer (or stand mixer.)
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and half-and-half, mixing until smooth.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator until this is needed.
Form the Brownie Pops
- Crumble up the brownies into small pieces, as shown in this post, and add 3/4 cup of the Cream Cheese Icing. Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until slightly tacky.
- Use a small cookie scoop to create the brownie pops. Scoop the dough, then round the pops between your two hands using a rolling motion. Repeat this step until all the pops have been formed.
- Place the pops on a greased baking sheet, and let chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Finish the Brownie Pops
- Once the pops have chilled, insert the cake pop sticks into them until they are firmly in place.
- Dip the brownie pops into the remaining icing, and stand upright (using a styrofoam box or a special cake pop stand). Sprinkle crushed M&M's® on top of the icing, then chill in the refrigerator for an hour... then dig in!
Notes
- Please note that the total time does not include resting time and chilling time.
- When the pops are finished, store covered in the refrigerator for up to a week. (I doubt they'll last that long, though!)
