to keep your candy melts warm so you don't have to keep microwaving them you can place the bowl inside another bowl of hot water or use a warmer of your choice

you can use a scoop or do it by hand: roll up reasonable sized balls to go on the end of the lollipop sticks

make sure the balls are compacted so they don't fall apart while pushing the stick in

dip one end of the lollipop stick into the melted candy and take your cake ball and put it on the same side as the melted candy

wait for it to set

then, dip the cake ball into the melted candy and pull straight up
