Ingredients
- 9 oz 70% dark chocolate
- 9 oz white chocolate
- to taste chocolate sprinkles
Tools
- Sticks
- Mold
- Parchment paper
- Microwave oven
- Pointed tool
Place the mold on a sheet of paper and trace the outlines of the entire shape with a pencil. Then place a sheet of parchment paper on top; after preparing the drawing, take the chocolate and break it into pieces.
Once broken into pieces, place it in two bowls and melt it in the microwave for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, or you can also use a double boiler. The dark chocolate will be for the bats and the white chocolate for the ghosts.
Once melted, pour it over the parchment paper following the shape you drew on the sheet. Carefully trace the outline with a pointed tool; a stick will work as well.
I recommend pouring the chocolate in small doses or even with a teaspoon if that makes it easier for you.
Now completely cover the shape with chocolate and place the stick in the center. Be careful with how much chocolate you pour; the shape should not be too thin, otherwise it might break when removing it from the parchment paper.
Finally, use the dark chocolate to create eyes and a mouth for the ghost and let the chocolate fully set before removing it from the parchment paper.
Do the same procedure with the bat; for the eyes, just use two small candies, and before the chocolate sets, if you like, you can sprinkle the bats with chocolate sprinkles. Let the chocolate dry completely before removing it from the parchment paper, and enjoy your treat!
