FUDGY VEGAN BROWNIES
Fudgy brownie fans unite! These are the ooiest, gooiest squares ever -- and they just happen to be vegan. Loaded to the max with chocolate chips (is there any other way?) and boasting the dense, rich texture we all love, these are an easy one-pan dessert that you can whip up in a single bowl. Unlike other vegan brownies that use flax meal for an egg replacement, this batter turns to a pantry staple instead: confectioners' sugar, which has just a touch of cornstarch or tapioca starch and pulls everything together perfectly.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray, line with parchment and spray again.
- Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Whisk until a thick paste forms, about 1 minute. Add the milk, vanilla extract, baking powder and salt and whisk to incorporate. Add the flour, cocoa powder and chocolate chips and fold with a rubber spatula just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake until fully set and the top is firm, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Slice into 9 squares and serve.
FUDGY CAKE POPS
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a quarter sheet tray with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Reserve.
- Combine the granulated sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time. Slowly add the sour cream, milk and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on medium speed, gradually mix in the flour mixture.
- Spread the batter onto the sheet tray and bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the cream cheese frosting: Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and lemon juice in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside.
- Place the cake into a food processor and pulse to crumble. Transfer to a bowl, then add 2 cups of the frosting and stir to combine. Take some of the cake and frosting mixture and roll into a ball, roughly the size of a golf ball. Insert a candy stick into the center. Place onto a parchment-lined sheet tray. Repeat with remaining cake and frosting mixture, to make about 12 pops. Place into the freezer to chill for 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the decorating: Set up 2 double boilers with a glass bowl fit over the top of each. Add the dark chocolate to one bowl, and the white chocolate to the other. Gently melt the dark and white chocolate over the double boilers, stirring frequently to ensure the chocolate is not burning on the bottom of the bowls.
- For the white chocolate eyeball cake pops: Dip half of the chilled cake pops into the white chocolate, rotating to make sure they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Place right-side up into a piece of Styrofoam and stick one candy eye into the center of the cake pop. Repeat with remaining cake pops, transfer to the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.
- Scoop 1/2 cup frosting into a small bowl and add 2 drops red food coloring. Mix to combine, then transfer into a pastry bag. Cut a very small amount off the tip, then pipe squiggly lines coming out from the candy eyes to resemble red veins.
- For the chocolate-dipped cake pops: Take the other half of the cake pops and dip into the dark chocolate, making sure to fully coat the cake and allowing any excess to drip off. Roll immediately in the black and orange nonpareils. Place right-side up into a piece of Styrofoam, then into the fridge to chill.
FUDGY ALMOND FLOUR BROWNIES
Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides; spray with cooking spray.
- Use pulsing action of food processor to process nuts and 1/4 cup sugar just until ground to small- to fine-grind. (Nut mixture should resemble texture of coarse sand. Do not overly process it or the nut mixture will turn into almond butter.)
- Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Stir in baking powder, ground nut mixture and remaining sugar. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool completely.
- Refrigerate 2 hours. Use foil handles to remove brownies from pan before cutting to serve.

Tips:
- To make the pops easier to dip, freeze them for 30 minutes before coating them in chocolate.
- If you don't have almond butter, you can use another nut butter, such as peanut butter or cashew butter.
- If you want a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
- To make the pops even more festive, sprinkle them with chopped nuts, crushed candy canes, or edible glitter before they harden.
- Fudgy almond pops can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To serve, thaw them at room temperature for 15 minutes.
