- Roll 22g balls and place them on a board with baking paper.
- Let the brownie balls chill for 30 minutes in the fridge, then talk them out.
- Heat a little bit of chocolate in the microwave. Dip the end of the lollypop stick in the chocolate, then into the top of the brownie ball. Place them back in the fridge for 30 mins.
- To temper the chocolate, chop into very fine pieces.
- Heat 2/3 of the chocolate in the microwave or Bain-marie until it reaches 115F. Stir continuously whilst it is melting.
- Remove from the heat and gradually add the remaining chocolate in stages. Stirring continuously to combine.
- Once the melted chocolate reaches 80F, heat again until it reached 88F-90F. The chocolate is now at working temperature. (dip the brownie pops straight away)

- Note: Make sure the melted chocolate covers the brownie all the way to the lollypop stick. if there is a gap oil will leak out the top from inside!
