Melt Dark Cocoa Candy Melts®. Cut twelve 3 in. lengths of Lollipop Sticks; dip sticks into candy and place on waxed paper; refrigerate to set. Pour remaining melted candy into bottom of pan to a depth of 1/2 in.. Immediately push lollipop sticks into coating, spacing evenly around edge. Refrigerate until set and unmold. Note: An even number of sticks is essential for the weaving to work out correctly.

Make a full recipe of Candy Clay using 1/2 bag White Candy Melts® and 1/2 bag Light Cocoa Candy Melts®. Roll out 7 cords, each 18 in.es long. Weave 5 cords between sticks; smooth seams. Make a rope by loosely twisting remaining two cords together, add to top edge of basket, securing with melted candy, if necessary.
