7. To make white heart-shaped cake pops, melt the white chocolate in the microwave, and stir at 10 seconds 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.

10. To make brown heart-shaped cake pops follow steps 7-8 with milk chocolate.
