My bff from High School turned 30! Last time I was in B-town she tried one of my lemon cake pops and thought it was oh so yummy. I was describing the chocolate ones to her and she started to drool (ok, not really) so I made a mental note to try those ones for her.
Somewhere along the way I started thinking about brownies and the texture and how they can be ooeey-goooey. Wonder if those would work instead of cake.... talk about a serious rich treat.
Made a double batch of brownies (mmmm) and crumbled them all up in a bowl. I could tell this was a very good choice... and I think my twin the brownie lover would heart it! I added some dark chocolate frosting and started to mix. Texture good, yup, this is gonna be tasty!
The hard part about this batch is my bff from High School lives in Boise. Which means I'm gonna have to mail these. Which also meant I didn't wanna chance making them into brownie pops.... brownie balls they became. I thought they would be a little bit more secure in bonbon cups.
Thought about dunking them in dark chocolate... after tasting one of the brownie balls and how rich it was on it's own I decided to do the white chocolate instead. Not as rich... trying to avoid a full on sugar coma!
Dunked, sprinkled and a green m&m on top. Chose the green m&m because it's colorful, chocolate and reminds me of my bff in High School.
I then packaged them individually (again hoping to give them a bit more stability since they were going in the mail) and a little tag on each of them.
The final product!
Brownie balls :)
Once it was packaged in a bubble envelope and addressed I stuck it in the freezer for a couple hours before taking it to UPS. I ended up shipping it overnight and had images of it sitting on her front porch in the sun melting.
I watched the UPS and weather site ALL morning!
Final outcome: they arrived safe and sound and in one piece!
woooooooooot.
If at first you don't succeed...
pretend you weren't really trying.
