Create a stencil with about 2.5 to 3 inch circles. Top the stencil with a clear acetate.

Step 2

Melt and temper your Milk Chocolate (2 2/3 cups) by bringing it to 40 degrees C/104 degrees F then bring down to 29 degrees C/85 degrees F.

Step 3

Fill in your piping bag with the tempered chocolate.

Step 4

Stand over your stencil and create concentric circles.

Step 5

Make severel layers, going heavy but still see-through. Give it a little dot at the lower center.

Step 6

Insert the stick and top with a little more chocolate so that it stays in place.

Step 7

Top with Sprinkles (to taste) , Cacao Nibs (to taste) , Strawberry Sugar Pearls (to taste) , or Dried Fruits (to taste) .

Step 8

When they're set and shiny, lift the lollipops off the acetate. You can use a spatula to help.

Step 9

Put lollipops in cellophane bags and tie them with a ribbon for beautiful party favors or just let them stand in a jar of colored sugar. Enjoy!
