Number Of Ingredients 2

2-8 ounces chocolate, (melted (and tempered if needed))

  • If desired, you can stir your favorite candy bar toppings into the melted chocolate before pouring it into the mold or you can add the ingredients on top of the wet chocolate.
  • Tap the mold a few times to allow any trapped air bubbles to come to the surface of the chocolate.
  • Pop the air bubbles using a toothpick or knife.
