These witch hat brownie pops are a quick and easy Halloween treat featuring fudgy brownies topped with mini sugar cones dipped in melted chocolate, decorated with festive orange candy melts and candy eyes. They are bite-sized, mess-free, and perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Mini sugar cones (about 12 cones)
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • Orange candy melts or orange sprinkles
  • Edible candy eyes or small white candy pearls (optional)
  • Wooden lollipop sticks or sturdy paper straws

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until combined and glossy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  5. Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Cut brownies into 1.5-inch (4 cm) bite-sized squares. Insert a wooden lollipop stick halfway into each brownie square gently but firmly.
  7. Melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals in the microwave, stirring each time until smooth, or melt over a double boiler on low heat, stirring frequently.
  8. Dip the rim of each mini sugar cone into the melted chocolate and place it over the brownie square on the stick, gently pressing so it sticks. Hold for a few seconds until set.
  9. Decorate the hat bands by applying a thin line of melted orange candy or sprinkling orange decorations around the base of the cone. Add candy eyes or pearls if desired. Let set at room temperature or chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  10. Serve and enjoy. Best eaten the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Cool brownies completely before inserting sticks to prevent crumbling. Melt chocolate in short bursts and stir frequently to avoid burning. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut brownies cleanly. Lightly coat cones with chocolate to avoid drips. Chill pops briefly between steps to firm chocolate if needed. Store in airtight container up to 3 days; freezing not recommended.
