(I love Monty Python hard)
I made these today:
What you need is...1 large chocolate bar (I used dark chocolate)
1 package of gummi frogs
1/2 cup of rice krispies (or several packs of pop rocks or other fizzy popping candy)
As well as a fork, a spoon, a plate, waxed or parchment paper, a bowl, and a fridge.
also, in terms of melting the chocolate, you can do it one of two ways, either take a glass bowl, sit it on a saucepan with boiling water in it on the stove and melt the chocolate that way, or, melt it in a microwave. I did the latter.
1. Break up the chocolate bar and put the pieces in a microwave safe bowl, then melt it down by stopping every 30 seconds to stir and check how it's melting.
2. Once the chocolate is melted down, stir in the rice krispies or pop rocks.
3. Stab your frogs with a fork!
4. Dip your frogs into the chocolate until they are covered and bumpy from the pop rocks or krispies.
5. Sit them on a sheet of parchment paper placed over a plate... or a cookie sheet if you have a bigger fridge than me. Use the spoon to get them off the fork, and to cover up any green spots. They should turn out like this:
6. Cut around the parchment with scissors so that it fits to the plate, then pop them in the fridge for about an hour or so to let the chocolate harden. After an hour, take them out, and peel or pop them off of the paper and back onto the plate. I store mine in the fridge. But this is how they should turn out:
They're pretty much delicious, and really good on their own, but I get the feeling that they'd also be amazing with warm buttery popcorn. Messy for sure, but seriously yummy... (chocolate covered treats go wonderfully with popcorn as my friend Libby once showed me).
I kind of want to be a chocolatier or candy maker or something...
Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes
Oh, who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
The Candy Man makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
Yes, the Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
