Servings: 12
Equipment
- Squeeze Bottle or Piping Bag
Ingredients
- 1 Package white almond bark or white chocolate chips
- 1 Package melting chocolate pink
- 1 Package melting chocolate red
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Wash and dry your mold thoroughly before using.
- Decide which color you would like the words/details to be and pour a small amount of that color melting chocolate into a microwave safe container. Microwave in 15 second intervals until melted.
- Using a toothpick or squeeze bottle/piping bag. Carefully fill the details/words of the mold cavities with your chosen color.
- Once all the detail work has been completed, choose which color you'd like the main part of the lollipop to be. Pour some of that color melting chocolate or almond bark into a microwave safe container and microwave in 15 second intervals until melted.
- Carefully spoon the melted chocolate into the mold on top of the detail work, filling the mold about half way.
- Very gently lift the mold about an inch off of the counter and drop it back down onto the country. Do this a few times to ensure there are no air bubbles or gaps.
- Gently lay a lollipop stick onto each lollipop.
- Using the same color or a new color of melted chocolate fill the molds up the rest of the way, being sure to cover the lollipop stick but not overfill the mold cavity.
- Carefully tap the mold again to make sure the air bubbles are released and the chocolate lays evenly.
- Sprinkle with sprinkles if desired.
- Place the mold in the fridge to cool for 10 minutes (or longer if needed) until solid.
Notes
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.
