INGREDIENTS
1 bag any color chocolate melts sucker molds of your choice
1 bag of sucker sticks disposable pastry bags
1 bag of sucker wrappers w/ ties
PREPARATION
To melt the chocolate (Wilton's Candy Melts work great), follow
the directions on the back of the bag. The easiest way is to use
a disposable pastry bag. Fill it with the melts, tie off the open
end and zap it in the microwave. Squeeze the bag every few minutes
as it melts to mix it.
Cut off the tip of the bag and fill each sucker shape to the top.
We used orange melts and jack-o-lantern molds. You can also melt
some yellow and brown melts and fill in the jack-o-lantern face
before you fill with orange. Just let the faces harden first, then
fill.
When they are full, insert the sticks, you may have to work them
into the chocolate a little and top it off to seal them in. They
may look a little bumpy but they will level out as the chocolate
settles. Place in your refrigerator to set.
You can also look for different molds that have witches, skulls,
etc and fill them accordingly.
To remove after they are set, just lift by the stick, they should
easily pop right out. If they don't come out, just bend the mold
slightly, like getting ice from a tray.
You can use candy paints or glazes at this time to add some color.
Or use decorating gel or frosting to add faces!
STORAGE & SERVING
For a Halloween party, serve on on a large serving tray or decorative
plates. For treats, wrap individually in those little cellophane
bags for suckers. You can find orange ones during the Halloween
season.
A very tasty little treat! I guarantee they'll disappear faster
than a ghost in a graveyard!
