Quick Facts

• Yield: About 20 brownie pops
• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes
• Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 1 box brownie mix (or your favorite homemade brownie batter)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 20 lollipop sticks or wooden skewers

For the Decorations:

• 1 cup green candy melts or green frosting
• Chocolate chips or black icing gel (for hair and mouth)
• Mini candy eyes (about 40 eyes)
• Black decorating gel or licorice strings (for scar details)
• Optional: crushed cookies or sprinkles for texture

How I Make It

Step 1:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy brownie removal. In a bowl, mix the brownie batter according to the box or your homemade recipe using 2 eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup water. Make sure it’s smooth and glossy—this tells you it’s ready for baking!

Step 2:

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Overbaking makes the brownies dry, so keep a close eye towards the end.

Step 3:

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This is key so your pops don’t fall apart when you stick them.

Step 4:

Once cool, lift the brownie slab out and use a sharp knife to cut 20 equal squares. Gently insert a lollipop stick into each brownie piece. If any crumble, don’t worry—just press gently to secure.

Step 5:

Melt the green candy melts according to package instructions or use green frosting for decorating. Dip the top half of each brownie pop into the candy melts, or generously frost it with green icing, creating Frankenstein’s “face.” Place candy eyes while the frosting is still soft so they stick well.

Step 6:

Use chocolate chips, decorating gel, or licorice strings to add Frankenstein’s iconic hair, mouth, and scars. Let the pops set on parchment paper until the candy coating hardens or frosting firms up, about 20-30 minutes. Then, they’re ready to spook and delight!

Variations & Tips

• Use homemade brownies for a denser, fudgier pop.
• Try different colored candy melts for varied monster designs.
• Substitute mini marshmallows for eyes if candy eyes aren’t available.
• Add crushed Oreos inside the batter for a “creepy” cookie crunch.
• If sticks won’t hold, refrigerate pops a bit before decorating for firmer brownies.
• For gluten-free options, use a GF brownie mix or recipe.

How I Like to Serve It

I love bringing these Frankenstein Brownie Pops to Halloween parties or handing them out during neighborhood trick-or-treating. They’re perfect for little hands and add that festive, playful vibe to any spooky gathering. Plus, they’re a hit at school events—easy to transport and no crumbs to worry about!

Notes

• Store pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
• If refrigerated, let them sit at room temp for about 15 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.

Closing: These Frankenstein Brownie Pops never fail to bring smiles and a little Halloween magic to my kitchen—they’re just too fun and delicious not to share!
