Ingredients

• 175g packet double choc-chip mini muffins
• 1/3 cup green sprinkles
• 200g dark chocolate melts, melted
• 16 dark chocolate melts, halved
• 8 green oval boiled lollies

Method

1. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place muffins, bottom-side up, on prepared tray.
2. Place sprinkles in a shallow dish. Dip top of 1 muffin in melted chocolate. Coat in sprinkles to form turtle shell. Place, sprinkle-side up, on tray. Repeat with remaining muffins, melted chocolate and sprinkles. Refrigerate 5 minutes or until set.
3. Dip 4 chocolate melt halves in a little melted chocolate. Push into 1 muffin just under chocolate shell to form flippers. Repeat with melted chocolate and remaining chocolate melt halves. Using a little melted chocolate, attach 1 boiled lolly to top of 1 muffin to form head, holding in place for 1 to 2 minutes or until set. Repeat with melted chocolate, lollies and muffins.
4. Dip 1 paddle pop stick into melted chocolate until 1cm-deep. Press paddle pop stick into the center of the base of 1 muffin. Repeat with remaining melted chocolate and remaining paddle pop sticks and muffins. Refrigerate 5 minutes or until chocolate has set. Serve.
