Description

Ingredients

• 200 grams / 7 ounces chocolate (I used milk, but use dark or white if you prefer)
• 50 grams / 1.75 ounces white chocolate for decorating (optional)
• edible decorations of your choice e.g. chopped dried cranberries, dried mango, other dried fruit, raw cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, chopped fudge, pecans, chopped candies / candy bars…

Directions

• Line baking trays or wooden boards with baking / non-stick paper.
• Break the chocolate(s) into pieces in small glass / ceramic bowls and melt (in the microwave in 30-second bursts, or over a double boiler).
• Place tablespoons of melted chocolate on the baking / non-stick paper, then push a lollipop stick about a third of the way into the side of it, twisting as you do.
• Quickly decorate with your chosen treats, then leave to harden completely.
• Wrap each lollipop in a cellophane gift bag, and tie with a ribbon.
