So, while scrolling through my (wayyyyyy too many) photos on my phone earlier today, I came across a screenshot from just over a year ago (I tend to take a screenshot when I see something interesting that I want to make or go back to at a later date). It was for a chocolate and sprinkle lollipop that I just thought was adorable. So when I had leftover chocolate and lollipop sticks in the apartment later on, I knew I had to test these out!
I had so much fun making these. I used about six different sprinkles (mostly sprinkle mixtures I had bought, plus some rainbow regular and nonpareil sprinkles). And when I had made them in milk chocolate but was having too much fun to stop there, I went on and made them in white chocolate, too!
These would be really fun to make for different holidays, using specific colors or themed sprinkles....looks like I may have my work cut out for me!
Chocolate and Sprinkle Lollipops
Adapted from a photo I saw from SugarHero
Ingredients:
Chocolate wafers, such as Wilton or Mercken's
A variety of sprinkles
Other tools needed:
Wax paper
Lollipop sticks
Piping bags
Directions:
Melt the chocolate in the microwave, in 30 second increments, mixing between each.
Make sure not to burn the chocolate.
Let the chocolate cool slightly so it's not too hot to the touch.
Place wax paper onto a flat baking sheet with a lip.
Lay lollipop sticks on the wax paper about 4 inches apart.
Spoon the chocolate in to a piping bag.
Snip off the end so that only a very small hole is there.
Working quickly, start piping chocolate over the end of the lollipop stick.
Start making circles going away from the end of the stick, but making sure that when completing the circles you make it touch the chocolate you piped at the beginning.
Once you're done piping the lollipop, immediately sprinkle the sprinkles over the wet chocolate, before it cools.
Then, move on to the next lollipop.
Repeat the stages above before making the next lollipop.
Once all the lollipops are made, place the tray into the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden.
