Christmas Brownie Pops
If you’re looking for a festive sweet Christmas treat to add to your dessert platter that doesn’t include the usual Christmas cookies, then you have to try these Christmas Brownie Pops!
These decadent holiday treats are essentially brownie squares with wooden popsicle sticks inserted, followed by a dipping of chocolate and addition of brightly colored Christmas-themed sprinkles!
Christmas brownie pops are delicious and super fun. Get the kids to help you assemble them to serve to guests or to hand out as gifts during the holiday season.
Recipe Notes:
- It’s less risky to hold the brownie pieces by hand for chocolate dipping than by the popsicle stick but go with what works best for you.
- It’s totally normal for the melted chocolate to start collecting small bits of brownie in it as you continue to dip. The sprinkles added do a great job of hiding these bits of brownie. In the event that you don’t want to add sprinkles, make sure to apply the chocolate using a spoon or knife so that each brownie gets that crisp, clear chocolate coating in each corner with no brownie bits in it.
- Follow the process of dipping each brownie and then add sprinkles. If you dip all 16 brownies in chocolate before starting on the sprinkles, the first couple of brownies would have already hardened and it’ll become a challenge to get the sprinkles to stick.
- These adorable Christmas brownie pops make fantastic party gifts! Wrap them up in cellophane and tie a ribbon around them with a gift tag.
If you don’t have popsicle sticks (the flat wooden variety), then you could use lollipop sticks (which tend to be rounded) instead.
The benefit of using something like flat wooden popsicle sticks is that they’ll tend to fit better inside the brownie squares with less likelihood of the brownie pops breaking apart. With that said, if your brownies are a decent thickness then you shouldn’t encounter a problem regardless of what you use.

Yes! These Christmas brownie pops are great to make about 2-3 days in advance when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They will typically last for 3-4 days at room temperature with the option of storing leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Christmas Brownie Pops
- Prepare an 8×8 baking dish by covering it with aluminum foil and spraying it with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Prepare the brownies per the instructions on the back of the brownie mix box. Pour the brownie mix into the prepared baking dish and set in the oven per the instructions on the box.
- Once the brownies are done baking, set the dish on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, place the baking dish in the freezer for 45-60 minutes to chill. Once the brownies have chilled enough, peel the aluminum from the sides of the baking dish and remove the entire block of brownies onto a cutting board covered in parchment paper. Cut the brownies into 16 equal squares. Push a popsicle stick into each brownie square.
- Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler until it is smooth. Remove the bowl from the pot and set on the table near your brownie pops.
- You will want to work quickly with the next part, and it is best to finish one brownie pop before moving on to the next. Dip a corner of each brownie into the white chocolate mixture. **Please see the note in the “notes” section!**.
- Apply the sprinkles to the melted chocolate and set the brownie on a piece of parchment paper or cooling rack to let the white chocolate harden.
- Once all the brownies have been dipped and sprinkles have been applied, you can set them in the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes so that the white chocolate can harden. Serve at room temperature.

Where do you get popsicle sticks and cellophane??
You can get them off of Amazon, or Michaels if you have that store by you. Walmart would be a good place to check too.
