Vegetable Oil

Eggs

24 popsicle sticks

6 oz semisweet chocolate chips (1/2 cup)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 inch pan with foil so that it extends about 2 inches over the sides of the pan. Spray foil with cooking spray. Make brownies as directed on the box. Cool completely – about one hour. Place brownies in freezer for 30 minutes. Remove brownies from pan by lifting foil; peel foil from sides of brownies. Cut brownies into 24 square bars, 6 rows by 4 rows. Gently insert craft stick into end of each bar, peeling foil from bars. Place on cookie sheet; freeze for about 30 minutes. In a small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on high about 1 minute; stir until smooth. If necessary, microwave additional 5 seconds at a time. Dip top 1/3 to ½ of each brownie into chocolate; decorate with candy sprinkles. Lay on waxed paper to foil to dry
