Recipe Info

This homemade chocolate frogs recipe is perfect for a Harry Potter movie night or birthday party. Fill the chocolate molds with a variety of fillings for a fun chocolate frog sampler platter.

Ingredients:
Silicone Frog Mold
1 (12 oz) bag of chocolate melting wafers
Fillings (Optional)
1/2 cup crushed Heath bar candies
1/2 cup mini marshmallows chopped
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 container of caramel sauce
Variations:
Pretzels – crush up salted pretzels of any shape
Oreo Cookie – cookie crumbs would be even easier to add than bigger chunks
Trail Mix – chopped up dried cranberries and peanuts

Instructions:
Place silicone frog mold on a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help you move the chocolate frogs around your kitchen while they are filled but not yet set. Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave safe bowl. Heat the candy at 50% power for 1 minute and stir. Continue to heat the candy in 30 second increments, stirring vigorously each time. Do not overheat the chocolate. It will melt and become smooth with enough stirring. Use a small spoon to add a dollop of chocolate to one frog well. Nudge the chocolate all around the bottom and sides of the shape. Be sure to coat all the details (nose, tail, toes, etc.) in chocolate but the well should only be 1/3 full. Sprinkle in your desired combination of fillings, but be sure to leave room to fill the top of the shape with more chocolate. Gently press the fillings into the soft chocolate below but don’t press it all the way down to the edge of the mold. Add another dollop of chocolate over the fillings and gently nudge it all around the surface so that the chocolate meets the sides and completely covers all the fillings. Work one frog at a time. Once the first is finished, repeat with the remaining wells.
Set the candy tray aside for 3 – 4 hours to completely set before popping the candy out of the mold.
