Method

The first job is to measure the yogurt into a measuring jug. Your child can easily do this by adding spoonfuls of yogurt into the jug; you just need to be ready to say 'stop' when they reach 300ml!
Carefully add the cocoa powder to the yogurt and stir to combine. The cocoa may look a little lumpy at first but it soon dissolves into the yogurt and becomes smooth.
Add the honey a teaspoonful at a time. Have a little taste in between until you are happy that it is sweet enough.
Stir the Magic Stars into the yogurt mixture. No doubt your little helper will enjoy this part - but will they be able to resist sampling a few?!
Now it's time to spoon the yogurt mixture into ice lolly moulds. Place the filled ice lolly moulds into the freezer for 4 hours, or until frozen solid.

Top Tip for making Magic Stars chocolate ice lollies

Remove the ice lollies 15 -20 minutes before serving as this will make it easier to remove them from their moulds.
