Directions
- 1
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly, or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, mixing well between each burst to prevent burning.
- 2
Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, gradually stir in the puffed rice until evenly coated. The mixture should remain fluid and pourable — not too thick.
- 3
Pour the mixture halfway into lollipop molds, press a stick firmly into the center, then fill to the top with the remaining chocolate.
- 4
Scatter sprinkles and decorations on top, then gently tap the mold on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- 5
Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the lollipops are completely set and firm.
- 6
Carefully unmold and serve right away to keep that perfect crunch!
💡 Chef's Tip
No lollipop mold? Spoon rounds of the chocolate mixture onto parchment paper, place a stick on each, and cover with a little more chocolate. Add extra puffed rice to the mix for a thicker texture that holds its shape without a mold.
