Basic Chocolate Lollipop Recipe
How To Make Chocolate Lollipops
16 ounces bittersweet chocolate, tempered
16 ounces white chocolate, tempered
16 ounces milk chocolate, tempered
Directions
To make the lollipop: Pour any of the tempered chocolates directly into the molds, filling them to the top. Tap the molds against the work surface to release the air bubbles. Set the sticks in place by inserting them just far enough to be secure within the mold you are using. Set the molds aside to allow the chocolate to set. When set, simply pop out the lollipops.
After popping them from the molds, you can use ribbon and cellophane bags to wrap and create modern lollipop favors like the one shown in the photo.
How To Melt Chocolate
Melting chocolate for candy
Melting In The Microwave
This is one of the most common ways to melt chocolate. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it on high power at 10-second intervals, stirring each time, just until it's completely melted.
In A Slow Cooker
A slow cooker, set on low heat, is perfect for melting chocolate and keeping it at just the right temperature while you work. All you need to do is stir it occasionally and keep an eye on it to make sure it's not getting too hot. If it does get too hot, turn off the slow cooker, remove the insert, and stir in a couple of pieces of unmelted chocolate to cool it down quickly.
Melting In A Double Boiler
This method allows you the most temperature control, and is best for higher-quality chocolate. Set up your double boiler with a small amount of water--the water should not be touching the top pan--and warm it over medium-low heat. Melt chocolate, stirring occasionally, just until the mixture is smooth, then remove the pan from the heat.
The Chocolatiere Electric Chocolate Melting Pot is perfect for chocolate fondue, making chocolate molds, or gourmet desserts. See that featured below in this lens.

Marbled Chocolate Heart Pops
How To Make Chocolate Heart Lollipops
Marbles Cocolate Heart RecipeIngredients:
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Oil-based chocolate flavoring (optional)
Heart-shaped lollipop molds
Lollipop sticks
Preparation:
1. Make sure your heart lollipop mold is clean and dry. Place the white and semi-sweet chocolate chips in separate microwave-safe bowls.
2. Microwave the gourmet chocolates individually until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating. White chocolate is especially sensitive to burning, so take extra care to stir the white chocolate numerous times during the melting process. If desired, add a few drops of oil-based chocolate flavorings to the white and semi-sweet chocolates and stir to combine.
3. Once both chocolates are melted and smooth, take a small spoon and dip it into the white chocolate. Place a small dab of white chocolate in the bottom of each heart cavity, varying the placement of the white chocolate in each lollipop. Repeat the process with spoonfuls of semi-sweet chocolate. Continue to add the chocolates to the mold, randomly placing spoonfuls of white and dark chocolates next to each other to ensure variety in each bite.
4. Once the cavities are almost full, take a toothpick and run it through the chocolate to get a swirled effect. This is best accomplished with a toothpick with a fat, rounded tip, as the fine-tipped toothpicks have a hard time swirling the chocolate on the bottom of the mold.
5. Insert the lollipop sticks into the molds, and cover the top of the sticks with chocolate. Use a knife or offset spatula to scrape the chocolate on the back of the mold into a flat layer. Refrigerate the mold to set the chocolate, at least 30 minutes.
6. Once the chocolates are set, pop them out of the mold and serve immediately. To store your Chocolate Heart Pops, wrap them individually in cling wrap, and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Chocolate Bunny Pops
How To Make Bunny Lollipops For Easter
These little chocolate bunnies are an adorable addition to any adult or kids Easter basket!
Ingredients
Chocolate wafer melts
Vanilla wafer melts
Oil-based coloring
Oil-based flavoring
Candy eyes or other edible embellishments
Chocolate bunny molds
Fine paintbrush
Toothpicks
Lollipop sticks
Large microwaveable container
Directions
1. Melt 1 - 2 oz of vanilla wafers in a ramekin for each color you want to use to decorate the chocolate pops. Add oil-based coloring to each and stir until well incorporated.
2. Set ramekins into a shallow bath of hot tap water to keep the contents pliable for the duration of your decorating (this water should not be boiling, or hot enough to scorch the candy).
3. Use fine paintbrushes to apply colors to coordinating spots on the mold. Extra fine touches like a tiny black pupil in the center of an eye can be made by applying color with toothpicks. Allow each color to harden before you add the next. (You can place the molds in the refrigerator or freezer to speed up the process.)
4. Place edible embellishments into the mold in the appropriate places. Lift the mold carefully and view from the bottom to verify that the colors and embellishments you have added are in the right place. (Now is the time to change or re-do the decorative touches if you need to!)
5. Place 8 oz of the chocolate wafers into the microwaveable container and cook in microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute to start. Add flavoring if desired. Stir and return to microwave if needed for 15 second intervals, until the chocolate is melted but not scorched. Set the chocolate in its container into the hot water bath (change out water for hotter water if needed by this time).
6. Set mold on level surface and position lollipop sticks in place. Fill the molds carefully with the chocolate using a spoon or squeeze bottle. Once filled, tap the molds very gently to ensure that any bubbles in the chocolate are released.
7. Put the molds into the refrigerator to set, making sure they remain level.
8. Once the chocolate has set, pop the chocolate bunny pops out of the mold and wrap or place in small cellophane bags. Secure at the base of the mold with a ribbon.

Flavoring The Chocolate
How To Flavor Chocolate Candy
Adding an extra flavor to chocolate is pretty simple but you have to know the basics. Only add oil-based extracts to pure melted chocolate. Flavors such as mint, cherry, and orange are popular these days. Liqueurs will make the chocolate seize up and become clumpy. Don't go overboard on adding the flavorings. A little goes a long way so make sure to taste test your chocolate before you pour it into the molds.
Here are a few great oil-based flavorings that will complement your chocolate lollipops perfectly.
The flavors, in order, are: Orange, Strawberry, Cherry, Hazelnut, and Mint Chocolate Chip.
