These festive red, white, and blue chocolate delights are perfect for the Fourth of July, bringing a spark of joy and celebration in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boxes Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownies mix (or preferred store-bought brownie mix)
  • 6 Eggs (can substitute with flax eggs for vegan alternative)
  • 0.5 cup Water
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil (coconut oil can be used as alternative)
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (milk or dark chocolate chips can be substituted)
  • 1.5 cups Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Wafers (can substitute candy melts)
  • 1 bag Red, White, and Blue Candy Melts
  • Red, White, and Blue Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a jelly roll pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine the brownie mixes with the eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips into your brownie batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared jelly roll pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  5. Cool the brownies completely on a wire rack once they come out of the oven.
  6. Cut the cooled brownies into individual stars using a star-shaped cookie cutter. Place the cut-out stars in the freezer and chill for 30 minutes; this helps maintain shape during dipping.
  7. Melt the Ghiradelli dark chocolate wafers by microwaving in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
  8. Dip each chilled brownie star into the melted chocolate to coat them fully or partially, as desired, and set aside on a cooling rack.
  9. Melt the red, white, and blue candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls, following the same microwave method as for the dark chocolate.
  10. Decorate the stars drizzling the melted candy colors decoratively over the dipped brownie stars.
  11. Add red, white, and blue sprinkles on top for an extra flair while the candy melts are still wet. Allow chocolate coatings and drizzles to set completely before serving.

Notes

Make sure the brownies are completely cool before cutting to prevent crumbling. For added richness, consider swirling in some peanut butter or Nutella before baking.
