Chocolate Dipped Pops...Fail

I have a Zoku Quick-Pop popsicle maker and for Christmas my brother got me an attachment for dipping the pops in chocolate and sprinkles.  This morning, I decided to try it out and I made apple cider popsicles dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with cinnamon.  I melted the chocolate in a double boiler and pulled out the first batch of pops (each batch only takes about ten minutes).  I pulled out a pop and dipped it in the chocolate filled mold. Chocolate spewed out the top and didn't stick to the popsicle. :(  I decided the chocolate was too cold (the instructions said to let the chocolate cool completely before applying it to the pops, so much for directions).  I scraped out the chocolate (quite a process) and reheated it.  I had mild success with that batch of pops. With the next batch of pops I was not so lucky.  The chocolate refused to stick to the pops no matter what I did.  I ended up by using the "drizzling spoon" to slop some chocolate on the pops.  They were far from beautiful, but beauty isn't everything I suppose...
