These cute little cakes on a stick are really easy to make and delicious too!
- 100g/3½oz dark chocolate
- 125g/4½oz fruit cake
- 125g/4½oz Madeira cake
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp chopped hazelnuts
- 300g/10½oz white chocolate
- few drops food colouring
- multi-coloured sugar ball sprinkles
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (Do not let the base of the bowl touch the water.)
- Crumble the fruit cake and Madeira cake into a bowl, then stir in the melted chocolate, desiccated coconut and hazelnuts until well combined.
- Roll golf ball sized pieces of the mixture into balls. Stick a lollipop stick into each ball and set aside in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
- Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (Do not let the base of the bowl touch the water.) Stir in the food colouring.
- Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Sprinkle the sugar sprinkles onto a plate.
- Remove the balls from the fridge, dip them into the chocolate, then coat in the sugar sprinkles and place onto the baking tray. Set aside in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
For a prettier finish, stick the lollipops into a piece of styrofoam to set.
