Use a knife to remove the hard edges of the brownie. These can be thrown away, eaten as a snack or desert, or used for another purpose. With your clean hands, crumble the remaining brownie into a large bowl. Alternatively, crush up the hard edges into chunks. When you dip the brownie pops into chocolate later in the recipe, sprinkle these chunks onto the brownie pops for a richer brownie pop. Line a clean baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Use a cookie scoop to ball the brownies. Alternatively, use melon baller, ice cream scoop, or your clean hands. Place the balled brownie onto the lined baking sheet. Insert a lollipop stick into each balled brownie. If using an ice cream scoop, be careful not to scoop too much of the brownie with it. Doing so may make pops that are too large to be supported by the lollipop stick. Freezing the brownie pops will help them maintain their shape while being dipped into chocolate. Failing to do so could result in your balled brownies breaking apart while adding the chocolate coating. Insert the pan with your balled brownie pops into the freezer for at least 2 hours. Add your dark chocolate to a microwave safe dish. Heat the chocolate at ½ power for 1 minute, then mix the chocolate. Continue heating the chocolate in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring in in between heating intervals, until the chocolate is melty and smooth. Heating the chocolate for a long interval will likely result in it bubbling. This could result in the inside of your microwave getting splashed with chocolate. Remove your brownie pops from the freezer. Dip each pop into the melted chocolate, then return them to the lined baking sheet. Insert the coated pops into the freezer and serve them when ready.  You may need to use a spoon to completely cover the pops in chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl to prevent the coating from overpowering the brownie. If you’ve saved the hard edges of your brownie, crush these up now and sprinkle the hard brownie dust/crumbles over the chocolate coating while it’s still soft. Your chocolate may thicken while your coating your pops. If this happens, return the chocolate to the microwave and heat the chocolate at short intervals until it is sufficiently melty.

If your boss is racist, you may notice that he’s treating people of color unfairly. These actions might be direct (such as refusing someone employment because “he wouldn’t fit in”) or indirect (such as insisting that employees have English as their native language.)  Remember that the workplace may have a genuine reason for the hiring policy. The racist action may or may not be directed towards you for your work to be affected. If you or someone else you feel is qualified has been repeatedly passed over for a promotion, ask your boss what you might do differently. For example, ask, “I was surprised that I wasn’t considered for that position, since it seems to fit my skills and experience. I’m interested in knowing what I might do to advance in the company.”  Don’t ask in a confrontational manner that will put your boss in a defensive position. Remember that it’s possible your boss doesn’t recognize his own racism. If you’re able to make your observations tactfully, he may realize what he’s doing and change his behavior. Rather than accusing your boss of being a racist, you might try offering suggestions for better management. For example, instead of saying, “If you’re not considering that man for a job here, you’re acting just like a racist,” you might consider saying, “I think it would help if we tried to cultivate a more diverse workforce.”  A statement format is both assertive and deferential. Try to explain why you’d like to see changes, so that you’re focusing on making positive change rather than blaming your boss for his actions. Certain incidents can result in immediate action. For example, physical threats based on race, hanging a noose in an African American employee's locker or work space, or using "the n-word" constitute harassment based on a single incident.  If this kind of behavior occurs in your workplace, you should report it immediately. Make sure to document this action. Write down exactly what took place, including the time, date, location and anyone else who observed it.

One-sentence summary -- Recognize racist actions at work. Ask your boss about his behavior. Offer suggestion statements. Know that certain actions are worse than others.
