Place pan on a cookie sheet so that if it spills, the oven won’t get dirty

Bake cake pops

Let them cool completely (I usually let them cool overnight)

Once they are cool, its time to decorate

Melt the chocolate (I did one color at a time)

Take a lollipop stick and dip the tip into one of the colors and stick it on the cake pop
