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...
