Today on Wondermint Kids, my friend, Mia A., and I are making Chocolate Lovely Pops. Some people call these heart-shaped chocolate lollipops. We flavored ours with shredded coconut, M&Ms, Rice Krispies, sea-salt (for my Mom!), sprinkles (for me!), and almonds. You can also try dried fruit or other cereals. And, don’t forget to check out our How-To Make Lovely Pops Video to see Mia and I in action.
Look below to see the recipe my mom typed up and how ours turned out. Aren’t they cute?!
