Cute Valentine's Chocolate Heart Lollipops

Step 1

Make a heart template on a piece of card and cut out. Lay out some baking paper on a flat surface and stencil some heart shapes with a pencil. Make sure you press fairly hard as you will be turning the baking paper over, and need to be able to see them. Also make sure you leave enough room for your sticks too. I made two rows of 3 (back to back) and mine were 10x10cm in size.

Step 3

Turn the baking paper over and back onto a flat surface (a large baking sheet or chopping board will work).

Step 5

Melt your dark chocolate in a bain-marie. Once melted, allow to cool slightly and then gently spoon with a teaspoon onto the heart shapes and use the back of the spoon to spread and fill the shape. Repeat this until all your hearts are filled/you have used all the chocolate. You want the chocolate to be a couple mm thick, if you aren't sure, wait for it to cool a little and then spoon some more on.

Step 7

Place your lollipop sticks about 1/3 into the heart and roll over so its covered in chocolate.

Step 9

Grate or cut the white chocolate and Oroes up and sprinkle on top, along with the freeze dried raspberries.

Step 11

Leave to cool for a couple of hours at room temperature.

Step 13

If these are for a gift, wrap the chocolate in some cellophane and tie with string!
