These Chocolate Lace Lollipops are incredibly simple to make, yet they also offer endless possibilities for customization. Whether you choose to serve them on sticks or use them without the stick to enhance a dessert, they can be tailored to suit any occasion. The best part? You can get as creative as you like with a variety of chopped nuts, dried fruits, and even edible glitter.

Ingredients:
- 4 oz. dark chocolate, chopped
- chopped nuts and dried fruit
- lollipop sticks
Yields: Approx 10 lollipops
Directions:
- Using a permanent marker, draw ten 2 3/4-inch circles on a piece of parchment paper. I turned over a 7 ounce plastic cup and traced it. (Turn the parchment paper over so that the chocolate does not touch the ink of the marker, the circle will show through the parchment paper.)
- Place a lollipop stick on each circle with one end of the stick at the very center of the circle.
- Place the chocolate into a gallon freezer Ziploc bag.
- Place chocolate in microwave. Do not microwave for more than 30 seconds at a time, as you do not want the chocolate to get too hot because, it will be hard to work with. When the chocolate is mostly melted, remove from the microwave and rub the side of the bag until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Using scissors, cut a small hole at the corner of the bag.
- Using the circles as a guide, pipe overlapping lines of chocolate in swirls, making sure you stay inside the lines. Scatter dried fruit and nuts on the chocolate. Allow to set in a cool place before carefully removing the lollipops from the paper.
