Candy Cane Brownie Lollipops - Mauree N.


1 pkg. (18-21 oz.) fudge brownie mix plus ingredients to make brownies
24 candy canes
10 oz. chocolate-flavored almond bark
additional decorations such as red jimmies (optional)

1. Line medium sheet pan with parchment paper, lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.  Prepare brownie mix according to package directions; pour batter into pan.  Bake 30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached.  Remove from oven to cooling rack.  Cool 20 minutes or until still slightly warm.
2. Cut off straight ends of candy canes to form stick.  Place candy can tops into resealable baggie and crush; set aside.
3. Using a medium scoop, scoop brownie into 24 rounded scoops, packing brownie into scoop using hands (entire brownie will be used).  Roll brownie scoops into smooth balls.  Insert candy cane sticks into centers of balls, mounding brownie around each stick.
4. Melt almond bark, spoon melted bark evenly over each brownie ball, turning to coat completely.  Allow excess bark to drip off.  Dip into reserved crushed candy canes or jimmies and stand upright on a piece of parchment paper.  Let stand until set.  Place into miniature cupcake liners.
