Ingredients

Start to finish: 3 hours (10 minutes active)
Servings: About 8 pops

1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup cherry jam
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Directions

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the half-and-half and chocolate chips. Heat, stirring constantly, until the chips are melted. Transfer the mixture to a blender, being sure to scrape the chocolate from the bottom of the pan.

Add the jam, vanilla and salt, then puree for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Divide the mixture between about 8 frozen pop molds (number will vary by size), then insert sticks according to product directions. Freeze for at least several hours.
