Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a saucepan of warm water.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and soft brown sugar and then combine both mixes together before adding the remaining brownie batter ingredients. Ensure they are mixed together thoroughly.

Pour the brownie batter into the lolly moulds, filling until ¾ of the cavity is full. Insert the sticks then bake for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Once baked, let the lollipops cool completely.

Meanwhile, make the sweetpotato icing by mixing the sweetpotato mash and icing sugar in a bowl then transfer into a piping bag.

Step 6

Unmould the lollies and with the sweetpotato icing, pipe the strips across each brownie at random angles and affix two confectionery eyes to each brownie before serving.
