  • Step 3Once it has fully melted, take this off the heat and stir in the remaining 50g of milk chocolate buttons. Set aside
  • Step 4Lay out a sheet of baking paper. Onto this, drop a spoonful of the melted chocolate, and use the back of a dessert spoon to shape into a round
  • Step 5While it is still warm, press a lollipop stick into the round and, gently roll this to fully coat the tip of the stick in chocolate
  • Step 6Working quickly, melt 50g of white cooking chocolate, then spoon a teaspoon of white chocolate onto each milk chocolate lollipop.
  • Step 7Using the tip of a skewer, swirl the white chocolate into the milk chocolate to create a marble effect..
