Rainbow Cake Pop Brownies
This recipe idea comes from For Goodness Cake Co. They also have a tutorial you can watch on TikTok, too! Be sure to check them out. So these are basically rainbow cake pop brownies minus the sticks that are normally in a cake pop! (Not to be confused with almond paste rainbow cookies! These are just like cake pops dyed like a rainbow.)
