This is a simple holiday treat that is a perfect way to show friends, neighbors and co-workers that you are thinking about them during the holiday season. It's wonderful to give as gifts or even at your holiday party. The colors are unbeatable and are fun, easy thing to do with the kids in the kitchen. I love the flavors in this delectable lollipop, sweet creamy chocolate, tart cranberries and salty pistachios! Yum!
16 oz of white chocolate, melted
1/2 cup of dried cranberries (I used Crasins that had been soaked in blueberry juice, but the regular kind will do)
1/2 cup of pistachios, diced
Lollipop sticks
1. Place wax paper on a sheet pan, so the chocolate won't stick.
2. In a glass bowl, add the white chocolate and put in the microwave for 30 seconds, remove and briefly stir with a rubber spoon. Place it back into the microwave and continue to heat in increments of 30 seconds until all the chocolate is melted. Stir chocolate until it is completely smooth.
3. Grab a tablespoon and pour the melted chocolate onto the wax paper into circular rounds. You can use the back of the spoon to help shape the lollipops. Put the lollipop stick in the middle of each of the chocolates, and then give each stick a twist, so that the stick has been full covered with all the chocolate.
4. Sprinkle the tops with the dried cranberries and pistachios. Place in the fridge for 5-10 to allow the chocolate to harden.
