Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 eggs
1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 cup maraschino cherries, drained, chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 package (16 oz) chocolate-flavored candy coating
48 paper lollipop sticks
48 maraschino cherries with stems, patted dry
48 red miniature paper baking cups
2 blocks white plastic foam

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Spray 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. Line pan with foil, extending foil 1 inch over 2 opposite sides of pan; spray foil with cooking spray.
  • In medium bowl, mix sugar, cocoa and salt. Stir in butter with whisk until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring with whisk until smooth. Gradually add flour; stir until smooth. Stir in 1 cup chopped cherries and the vanilla. Pour into pan.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour.
  • Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. Scoop uncut brownies with 1-inch cookie scoop; roll into balls. Place on cookie sheet. Freeze 10 minutes or until firm; when firm, transfer to refrigerator.
  • In medium microwavable bowl, microwave candy coating uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 minute, then at 15-second intervals, until melted; stir until smooth. Remove several brownie balls from refrigerator at a time. For each pop, dip tip of 1 lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into melted coating and insert stick into 1 brownie ball no more than halfway. Dip brownie ball into melted coating to cover; tap off any excess. (Reheat candy coating in microwave or add vegetable oil if too thick to coat.) Immediately top with cherry with stem. Insert lollipop stick into bottom of paper baking cup, pushing baking cup up to hold pop. Poke opposite end of stick into foam block. Let stand until set.
