Ingredients
- 7 ounces chocolate (I used milk, but use dark or white if you prefer)
- 1.75 ounces white chocolate for decorating (optional)
- Edible decorations of your choice e.g. dried mango, other dried fruit, raw cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, chopped fudge, pecans, chopped candies / candy bars…
other things you need
- small lollipop sticks
- cellophane see-through gift bags
- odds and ends of fabric or paper gift ribbon
Instructions
- 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.

Notes
- Recipe based on an idea seen on one of Ina Garten’s shows (The Barefoot Contessa!).
- I always melt my chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts. After the 3rd 30-second burst, some of the chocolate is still not quite melted, but I stir it in until it is. This is an easy way to ‘temper’ your chocolate so that it hardens again nicely.
- Nutrition facts below are a rough guide only as they do not include any of the optional decorations. But hey, never mind - we're celebrating so who cares about calories?
