The original recipe had some ingredients I didn't have on hand so I used a family favourite instead. Normally we make them half and half with one half plain and the other with cocoa.
You need:
8oz Butter
1 and 3/4 cups Sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 and 1/2 cups of Plain Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl. Then add the eggs ones at a time and beat in well. Then add the dry ingredients. Noramlly at this point I would divide the mix in half and add cocoa t
o half but in this case will divided in quarters and mixed each quarter a different colour. 
I had gone to the cake decorating shop especially to get the powdered colours as they give a brighter result!
After each quarter has been coloured wrap in glad wrap and pop in the fridge to firm up a bit before shaping.
Then take a small ball of each colourand squish them together then roll the ball out into a long snake.
Finally roll the snake around to form a lollipop shape and stick in a skewer that has been soaked in water so it won't burn. Then stick in the medium oven and bake for about 10 minutes.

They came out looking so good and tasting amazing that they were all gone before I had a chance to take a pic!!!
