"Way more trouble than they are worth. I made them for a family party on Thanksgiving thinking they would be popular with the whole "on the go" idea. Took way too much time and I wound up with a ton left over.
I stuck to the recipe since it was my first time doing this. It took much longer to bake than an hour. I kept it in the oven at 200 degrees for at least 2 and a half hours before it was actually set. Cutting out the pops is really time consuming and very messy. I recommend putting the sticks in before actually cutting. Semisweet chocolate chips are much to rich, and a big turn off for the kids at the party.
I have a major sweet tooth but these were too rich for even me to do more than a couple. Too much hassle to me and I doubt I'll make them again.
