In our own deprived childhoods the only thing we could get on a lollipop stick was a lolly (sniff). Today's children may not be taking hover buses to school, but they are lucky enough to be living in the Age of the Food Lollipop - because everyone knows that food tastes better atop a pop. We've rounded up some tasty treats on a stick - pop below for the links.

If you're one of those parents who manages to have sophisticated snacks awaiting your children after school these would make a nice addition to your rotation. We, however, are saving them for a party or special occasion. Are there other food lollipops we should know about? Let us know in the comments.
