Chocolate Lollipop

Ingredients:
high-quality Chocolate (disks, chips, bar)
colorful Sprinkles

Tools:
Lollipop molds
Lollipop sticks

Instructions:
Melt the chocolate in one of two ways:
Using a double broiler:
Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and place the top section in place.
Place chocolate in the pan; Stir until smooth and thoroughly melted.

Using a microwave:
Place the chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl, and heat for 1 to 2 minutes in 30-second interval while stirring with a spoon until completely melted and smooth.

(*It is also possible to melt the chocolate over a stove. Use low heat, and stir frequently until smooth and well combined.)

Using a spoon, transfer the melted chocolate into the mold, and place a lollipop stick into each slot within the mold.
Then, fill each slot evenly with melted chocolate until the stick is covered.

Gently tap the mold on the counter top to shake out any air bubbles.

Once the chocolate settles, see if the molds are not full. If not, add more chocolate.

Place the molds in the fridge on a level rack for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate lollipops are set.

Remove and let them sit on counter a couple minutes before gently popping them out from the mold.
