Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • Black food coloring gel
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • Almond slices (for the cat ears)
  • White and black edible marker or royal icing for facial details
  • Brownie pop sticks or lollipop sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Batter should be thick but smooth with a few lumps.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool the brownies completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Use a round cookie cutter or sharp knife to cut brownies into 2-inch circles. Insert a pop stick halfway into each brownie circle. Chill for 15 minutes if brownies are crumbly.
  8. Beat softened butter with powdered sugar and milk until smooth and spreadable. Add black food coloring gel gradually until a deep black color is achieved.
  9. Spread a thin layer of black frosting over each brownie pop. Attach two almond slices at the top as cat ears, pressing gently into the frosting. Place pops on a lined baking sheet.
  10. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Let cool slightly but do not harden.
  11. Dip each brownie pop into the melted chocolate, covering frosting and almond ears lightly. Let excess drip off and place back on parchment to set.
  12. Once chocolate coating has set (about 20 minutes in the fridge), use edible markers or a fine piping bag with white royal icing to draw cat eyes, whiskers, and a tiny nose.

Notes

Chill brownies before inserting sticks to prevent crumbling. Heat chocolate in short bursts and stir often to avoid burning. Use gel food coloring for best frosting color and texture. Let chocolate set fully before decorating faces to avoid smudging. Store pops refrigerated and consume within 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
