Ingredients




240g/8.5oz Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa content)
60g/2.1oz Icing Sugar
60g/2.1oz Cocoa Powder
+ Cake Pop Sticks
+ Chocolate Mold / Ice Cube Tray
+ Tiny Wafer Snowflakes (optional)

Preparation

1 Melt the chocolate over double boiler or in a microwave (make sure not to burn the chocolate). Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar & cocoa powder. 2 Mix until all well blended. At this point the chocolate mix will be pretty thick. This is OK. Using 2 spoons, fill each mold with chocolate. Make sure there are no air bubbles by pressing down especially around the edges. 3 To get an even look on the surface, dip your spoon in hot water and with the back of the spoon smoothen the chocolate. 4 Insert the sticks and transfer in the fridge. Let it chill for several hours (best overnight). 5 Optional: to make these hot chocolate sticks more festive, glue tiny wafer snowflakes onto each side. Glue it with some melted chocolate and put it back in the fridge until set. 6 Pop it into a cup of hot milk. Let it be for 2 minutes before stirring until it has melted completely. 7 Enjoy!
