Tips & Warnings

• Try and use the best chocolate you can for this recipe. You shouldn't use something too rich and creamy as this will become too sweet.

• You can always use Cornflakes as an alternative to rice pops.

• Don't add too much chocolates on top of the cakes if you want them all to be eaten.

• Don't microwave the chocolate. There's always a risk of it burning - and you don't want your house smelling for when the guests arrive!

• Never leave a small child unattended in the kitchen.
