If you’ll remember we worked with candy melts when we did our chocolate dipped ice cream cones. I decided to make these fabulous swirly lollipops with the kids. As long as you are handling the hot chocolate, they can do the lollipop design basically on their own.
These Wilton Dark Candy Cocoa Melts, 12-Ounce
are really easy to work with. For directions, click the link above, but the directions are also on the back of the bag.

We put our chocolate in a little, plastic squeeze container I purchased in the cake section of a craft store. You could use a ketchup container, piping bag or even a zip lock with a hole cut in the corner. You then put the stick down on parchment or wax paper and just create a swirly design over it. Make sure to cover the stick fairly well. You stick the tray in the freezer and within minutes they have hardened. We decorated some of them with sprinkles also.
These would be great for gifts, a party treat or just because.

Thank you, Beth. I was just over poking around your site today too. I’m always amazed at the stuff you have going on there.
Great idea! Liz
It was a lot of fun. Thanks!
How cute! Pinning this to try with my girls this summer.
Amazing! I can not wait to try these…and my daughter is drooling over my shoulder looking at the screen. I guess we will try it today.
Jodi, these are adorable!! Love this idea! Featuring this tomorrow night at the party! Thanks bunches for stopping by!
I love using my chocolate in squeeze bottles but never thought of just doing lolly pops with them. Now I know what to do when I’m done making other treats, use the leftover chocolate for lollypops!
What a fun idea — my daughter would go crazy for them. 🙂
oh these look so yum! they remind me of curlywurly bars (english) chocolate bars I loved as a kid. I HAVE to make these for my girl! x
Oh I LOVE this idea! So fun to do with the kiddies! Pinning it and sharing it on FB & Twitter! Thanks for sharing it with us:)
