How to Make Brownies and Chocolate Lollipops?

Ingredients: 
Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
White Chocolate Chips
Brownie Mix
Pecan Halves
Large Marshmallows
Cookie Sticks (from Walmart)
Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter (from Walmart)
1 Freezer Bag
1 Platter ($1 at Dollar Tree store)
13" x 9" Baking Dish.
Non-stick cooking spray.

Directions:
Bake your brownies first, according to the packaging. Spray your baking dish with non-stick cooking spray first before pouring in you brownie mix.
You'll need 2 pots. Bring your water to a boil in one pot and the second pot will be for the chocolate chips. Just like the video instructions. You can also melt your chocolate chips in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time. Stir it to make sure that is has melted enough for you to coat the marshmallows with. Reheat the melted chocolate as you go along for 15 seconds at a time. Your chocolate needs to be completely melted in order to coat the marshmallows with. You'll know that it needs to be reheated when it becomes thicker and hard to get an even coat on the marshmallow.

Place the cookies sticks on the marshmallows first. Set them aside on a tray. Break your pecan halves into pieces with your hands. If you want them fine, chop the pecans with a knife.

Melt the white chocolate in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time. When done place it in the freezer bag. Cut the tip of the bag (small slit). Squeeze the white chocolate to make a swirl design on the heart shaped brownies.

Important Note: Place each chocolate pop in the refrigerator (immediately) after you coat each one of them (to prevent the chocolate from melting). I placed a plate in the fridge that way it wasn't a hassle to put them in the fridge as I completed each one.

You may use a potato peeler to peel your sweet potatoes with. After you peel your sweet potatoes, cut them up into pieces.

Add your sweet potatoes into the pot once the water starts to boil.

Place the pie crust into the oven for 9 - 11 minutes. Just to lightly bake the crust.

Be sure to sift the flour in when adding the flour to your sweet potato mix.

Directions: In a non-stick pan, add water, butter, flour, cinnamon, peaches, and sugar. Use medium heat. Cook stirring constantly until it thickens. Let cool. Then add your peach mix into the pie shell.
Now line your cookie sheet with aluminum foil to catch the access pie dripping. Bake in the over on top of the baking sheet for 45 - 50 minutes at 350 degrees. Don't take the pie out until the crust is golden brown, even after the cook time has passed.
