This is an adorable idea for teacher gifts or gifts for friends during Valentine's celebrations. This recipe will make 6 lollipops and you can present them nicely using lollipop bags that can be found at craft stores such as Michael's or JoAnn's and tied off with a ribbon.
Ingredients:
12 mini candy canes
6 paper lollipop sticks (6 inches long)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Red, white, and pink nonpareils or sugar sprinkles
1. Heat oven to 235 degrees. Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the candy canes together so they create a heart shape and bake them for 10 minutes.
2. Quickly slide the parchment paper and the candy canes onto a working surface. Use your fingers (this is a job for the adult) to pinch the candy canes around the lollipop stick. The stick should start at the top of the heart where the two candy canes meet and go through the bottom in the middle.
3. Use the microwave to melt the white chocolate chips and oil together. Microwave in 10-second intervals and stir in between heatings.
4. Once the chocolate was completely melted, spoon the mixture into the center of each heart, then top with the nonpareils or sugar sprinkles.
Let the pops cool completely before serving or wrapping.
