About

These extra-terrestrial pops are a great opportunity to try out weird combinations of bright colours, bulging eyes, and scary horns and teeth. Ready-coloured chocolate buttons or candy melts (which you can get from specialist cake decorating shops or in online stores) give the strongest colours and we have used them here, but you can use white chocolate and colour it with gel or paste food colouring if you prefer.
