How do you use a muffin pan for the lollipops?

my question would be...if you are using a muffin pan for lollipops...how do you put the sticks in and get them to stay? also ....the carob, can it be both sweet and unsweetened?

Chef's Answer ~ The peanut butter mixture is very thick, so you should not have any problem getting the rawhide (or other edible choice) to stay standing upright.

If you are using a mini muffin pan, use just one rawhide stick. If you are using a regular sized muffin pan, you may want to use a thicker rawhide stick for stability. Or, you could add two or three rawhide sticks, instead. In that case I would recommend tying them together with twine or even a strip of plastic wrap. Just be sure to remove these things before serving to your dog.

You can use sweetened or unsweetened carob chips in this recipe because it is such a small amount. But, if you have the choice, unsweetened is the way to go.
