5. Push a lollipop stick into each heart-shaped cake mixture back, and put them into the fridge for an hour to set.
6. In the meantime, set aside a bowl of sprinkles.
7. To make white heart-shaped cake pops, melt the white chocolate in the microwave, and stir at 10-second intervals until smooth.
8. Take each of the chilled cake pops and dip into the chocolate, allowing it to drip off a little over the bowl.
9. To make pink heart-shaped cake pops follow steps 7-8 with a drop of red food coloring added to the white chocolate.
10. To make brown heart-shaped cake pops follow steps 7-8 with milk chocolate.
