How to Paint Chocolate Lollipops

Paint your chocolate lollipops using colored chocolate

Making your own chocolate lollipops is as simple as melting chocolate and pouring it into a mold. To add an extra special artistic touch to your lollipops, try your hand at painting the chocolate. You can "paint" lollipops with colored melted chocolate and an artist's paint brush. Make sure the paint brush is cleaned and has never been used with real paint before. Wait until the chocolate lollipops are completely hardened before painting.

Things You'll Need

• White chocolate lollipop melts
• Oil-based chocolate tints
• Glass bowl
• Double boiler
• Small artist's brush

Instructions

1. Melt white chocolate melts in a double boiler set to low heat.

2. Pour the melted chocolate into a glass bowl.

3. Add drops of an oil-based candy colorant that can be used to color chocolate. Follow the instructions on the bottle to see how many drops to add.

4. Mix the chocolate and color together.

5. Paint the lollipop with the chocolate paint using a small artist's paint brush.

6. Follow the designs already on the chocolate from the lollipop mold or freestyle your own design.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not use regular liquid food coloring to color chocolate.
