• These can be made with white, milk or dark chocolate. If they’re for adults, try adding a tablespoon of your favourite liqueur – coconut liqueur with white chocolate, Cointreau with dark chocolate to make a jaffa flavor, and try a coffee liqueur with milk chocolate for mocha ice pops.

• If you use a bitter dark chocolate you may need to add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the warm milk and cream to sweeten things up.
• These milk pops can also be half-dipped in melted chocolate for a fun variation.
