This recipe is surprisingly easy but results in realistic chocolate frog candies. Feel free to enchant your frogs after you’re done making them, but be careful! Don’t let them escape out of the train window.
Yield 12—Cook time 30 minutes
Ingredients
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
12 gummy frog candies
Instructions
Place the chocolate in a small, microwave-safe bowl.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until it is completely melted. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Place 1 gummy frog on a fork and dip it into the chocolate, flipping it over to coat all sides.
Drain the excess chocolate off of the frog by scooping it up with the fork and shaking it gently. Hold it over the bowl for 30 seconds to let the excess drip off.
Place on the cookie sheet to dry and repeat with all the frog candies.
Allow to dry at room temperature for an hour or for 10 minutes in the fridge, until the chocolate is set.
