Chocolate lollipops

Today's Saturday and I have the weekend off!

My son Tomas decided we had to do some lolipops... 

Let's do white chocolate lollipops with dark chocolate chips.

Like every thing I do, this is super easy and quick.

You'll need a bar of white chocolate, some dark chocolate chips and some sticks and wax paper.

I made some circles to help us keep a round shape and Tomas put the stick.

We melted the white chocolate in the microwave in short bursts of 20 sec. I belive it tooks us 3 times.

Then we made the lollipops and Tomas put some dark chocolate chips on top.

Now we wait until they are ready to eat! Yumm...
