Wash and dry molds: Make sure cavities and stick channels are clean and moisture-free.
Melt detail color: Warm one chocolate color in short bursts until smooth.
Paint details: Use a toothpick or piping bottle to fill letters and outlines.
Melt base color: Warm the main color until fluid and glossy.
Fill molds halfway: Spoon chocolate over details to mid-depth.
Release bubbles: Lift and tap the mold to settle chocolate and pop air pockets.
Set sticks: Place a lollipop stick into each channel.
Top off molds: Add more chocolate to cover sticks without overfilling.
Tap again: Level the surface so edges stay clean.
Add sprinkles: Decorate while the chocolate is still fluid.
Chill until firm: Refrigerate until the lollipops release cleanly.
Substitutions and Variations
Gluten-free option: Use chocolate labeled gluten free and certified gluten-free sprinkles. Keep tools separate to avoid cross-contact.
Vegan option: Choose dairy-free melting wafers and vegan sprinkles.
Flavor boost: Stir in a drop of peppermint oil or orange oil for a twist.
Two-tone look: Swirl pink and white or add a red drizzle after unmolding.
Serving Suggestions
With a Valentine’s Day drink: Enjoy a strawberry sour candy cocktail or a Hawaiian lava flow cocktail with your lollipops.
With more sweet treats: Try strawberry lemon cake mix cookies, heart-shaped donut holes or strawberry kiss cookies.
How to Store Valentine Lollipops
Store: Keep in a cool, dry place in a covered container away from heat and sunlight for up to 1 week. I recommend putting parchment paper between the layers so stop them sticking.
Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing these.
Top Tips
Keep tools dry: Even a little water can seize melted chocolate.
Thin if needed: A tiny bit of coconut oil can smooth thick melts.
Work in batches: Fill a few cavities at a time so details stay neat.
Delicate work: If you’re filling small details or letters, it’s easier to use a toothpick to make sure the shapes are filled with the melted chocolate.
Tap then tap again: Removing bubbles gives that glassy finish.
Neat presentation: Use a paring knife to clean the edges after unmolding.
