EditTips

  • Balls must be packed tightly enough to stay intact on the stick. But not too tightly, or they will be too dense.
  • Don't heat your chocolate in a plastic container in the microwave! Use glass or metal on some other heat source. You don't want your chocolate tasting like plastic.
  • Suggested liqueurs: Amaretto, Frangelico, Kahlua.

Warnings

  • Suggested cake/liqueur combos:
    • Chocolate/amaretto
    • Lemon/limoncello (white chocolate)
    • Spice/spiced rum.

EditThings You'll Need

  • Mixing bowl for cake batter
  • Cookie sheet
  • Wax paper
  • Large lollipop sticks
  • Double boiler for melting chocolate
