Notes
nutrition facts are only an estimate
How long does chocolate take to harden?
It depends...
chocolate will harden within five minutes at room temperature. A colder room will dry chocolate almost instantly and the refrigerator or freezer will also speed up drying time
Need these to dry fast?
You can speed up the chocolate drying process by setting your turkeys on a wax paper-lined cooking sheet and placing it in the freezer
How many pops can I make?
I think one bag of chocolate melts - which is typically 12 0z. should make 1 dozen
How can I display these pops?
Either lay them on a platter, use Styrofoam to stick lollipop handles into, or a tall glass of rice to stick pops into
If your chocolate dried too fast:
No worries. Use the toothpick to dab melted chocolate onto whatever needs to be glued on and place it
