Last year for Kara's class we made Valentine candy heart pops for her class. I found some mini candy cane on clearance. You might still be able to find some around here and there for just a few cents.
We started by lining up the canes on a piece of parchement paper on a cookie sheet.
We used both pink and red canes, since I had mutlicolors in the box.
After lining up the hearts, I put in the lollipop sticks. Try and keep the hearts touching as much as possible. They might adjust some with the stick.
I melted red candy melts in the microwave using the 30 second method. Using a spoon I filled in the hearts with the melted chocolate.
I also sprinkled in some red sugar for extra fun. I placed the pops in the freezer for a few minutes to harden.
To hand them out at school we wrapped each pop in a red cellophane bag and tied with a piece of white curling ribbon.
Kara carried them to school in the candy cane boxes for extra protection. They were a huge hit with the kids. We plan on making them again for her class this year.
