These are so cute and super swift to make for holiday get-togethers! And quite yummy too…
Supplies:
1 snowflake set silicone baking pan (found in baking section)
White melting chocolate
Crushed candy canes
Plastic bowl
Mixing spoon
NOTE: If you can’t find snowflake molds, no worries, just use circles or stars. Any silicone molds will do!
Directions:
Heat the melting chocolate according to package directions. You can use the microwave kind from the craft store, or the gourmet kind. If you go with the latter, you’ll need to use a double boiler. Just read the package directions.
Once your chocolate is melted (stir it until all the lumps are gone and it is smooth), pour it in the plastic bowl and stir in the crushed candy canes. Mix and then pour into the molds. You can make thin and crispy ones, or super mongo sized ones like I did (see picture). Let cool and then pop out.
Add a little household “baking” wax during the melting cycle and stir in if you want them to look shiny (as if they were store bought!)
Cute! and easy! Of course, I have to go find some snowflake molds now!
Kudzu
is that paraffin wax Anonymous is talking about?
Merry Christmas!
Yes, I believe that is what its called–but I couldn’t think of the name. (The stuff lasts forever so I’ve been using the same box for a few years now!)
Are those the same molds you used for the resin snowflakes? Wow, you are getting a ton of mileage out of those!!! 🙂
Thanks for the notes and tips!!! Nope, these are made from mini-molds. Once I use a mold with resin, I never use it for food. This mold I bought at Sur la Table, the larger one i bought at Target…
Merry Christmas!!
