SWEET TREATS :-)

This morning, I decided I better melt the chocolate I purchased. (Before it melts itself.) I ended up making a few lollipops and, some chocolate covered goodies! 


If you'd like to try this, here is a list of the items you will need: 

• chocolate
• lollipop molds
• lollipop sticks
• lollipop bags (for storage)
• your favorite fruit
• saltine crackers
• bowl
• spoon
• cooking spray

*LOLLIPOPS*
I purchased the lollipop molds and sticks at my local craft store.

1. Rinse and dry the lollipop molds.
2. Put the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on the defrost setting for 30 second intervals.  

The chocolate should look like this as it is melting. It will not look milky until you stir it.

Once your chocolate has melted and been stirred, it should look like this.








3. Place the lollipop sticks in the mold. Make sure that 1 inch of the stick placed into the lollipop. 4. Begin to neatly pour your chocolate in to the candy molds. 
Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

END RESULT

I also had some milk chocolate that I wanted to have some fun with. (No, not my man, chocolate silly!) 
Here is a peek at what I made!

 Chocolate dipped saltines:

• Simply melt the chocolate using the same method described above. Then dip your saltines and place them on a pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray
• Refrigerate for 15 minutes. (Don't worry, this will not make the crackers soggy.) 

Chocolate drizzled saltines:

• Place the saltine crackers in a pan. Make sure the edges of all the crackers are touching.
• Dip a spoon in to the melted chocolate.
• Hold the spoon over the crackers and let the chocolate drip onto the crackers. (you don't need to use cooking spray)
• Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Chocolate covered cherries:

• Rinse and dry your cherries
• Melt your chocolate as described above.
• Dip your cherries in the chocolate and place on a pan or plate that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
•  Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

ENJOY!!
