Continuing on here with our Hot Chocolate theme of late, I’ve made a tutorial on hot chocolate push pops! I adore push pops. If I had kids, this would be the only way to serve desserts. It would totally save the mess of cupcakes smeared all over faces, and tables, and clothing. Or maybe I’m just imaging I would have prim and proper children who would daintily nibble at the push pop. Hmmm, kids are sounding better and better! They’d be like the Downton Abbey babies…but without the nannies, or servants, or castle.
To make these Hot Chocolate Push Pops you will need a batch (or two depending on how many pops you want to make). If you haven’t tried my homemade brownie recipe, make sure you do! It’s so good . . . but a box mix will work just fine too if you don’t have time for scratch.
These push pops are very simple to assemble. The only challenging part is cutting the brownie with the cookie cutter! I had indents on my palm, but after a couple pushes, I smartened up and used a knife (I was smart enough to show that in the video).
Hot Chocolate Push Pops
Ingredients:
prepared brownies
white buttercream
mini marshmallow bits
chocolate shavings
mini candy canes
push pop containers
Procedure:
Using a cutter the same size as the push pop opening, cut out pieces of the brownie to insert into the push pop. Fill the push pop with brownies until it is close to the top. Top the rest of the container off with white buttercream. Top the buttercream with chocolate shavings and marshmallow bits. Place the candy cane on the side of the push pop container so just the tip is in the buttercream (to look like a handle).
Happy baking! I’m off to find a baby from Downton Abbey. In Cranbrook. I think my chances are better of being hit by lightning.
