Chocolate Lollipops

If you have lollipop molds, by all means use them, but these are freehand. Kids can help with this fun recipe and it's a great holiday gift.

You need:

12 ounce bag of milk chocolate chips/sprinkles/nonpareils

How to

Cover 2-3 baking sheets with foil and arrange 6 inch lollipop sticks on them, a couple inches apart

Pour the chocolate chops into a zip lock bag, zip the bag nearly closed leaving about an 1inch open, and microwave until chips are melted,checking the bag every 30 seconds or so.

Let the chocolate cool for 30 seconds, then snip a quarter inch off of one corner of the bad and let your child squeeze a nice,thick circle of chocolate atop each stick (you can outline first then fill it in), rotating the sticks as you go to secure the chocolate to them. Decorate with colorful sprinkles then chill until firm 15-20 minutes.
