If you saw last week's post on repurposing a Valentine's chocolate box to give it a spookier touch, you may be wondering what you should fill your creepy chocolate box with. Why not make some tombstone chocolates? If you don't have any spooky molds on hand, keep an eye out around Halloween season. I got the silicone tombstone molds I used from this project from Joann this past fall.
Materials:
*Black candy melts
*Silicone tombstone molds
*Microwavable bowl
*Spoon
Directions:
*Pour some white chocolate baking chips into a microwavable bowl and add some black candy melts. The black candy melts can be pretty overpowering, color-wise, so I'd recommend only putting in about a quarter as much of the black candy melts as you did the white chocolate.
*Microwave for about 1 minute, then take out and stir. The candy melts and baking chips will likely not be completely melted yet.
*Pop back in the microwave for another 40 seconds, and then pull out and mix. My chocolate was completely melted at this point in time, but if yours isn't, pop it back in for another 30 seconds. Be careful not to over microwave, though, or the chocolate will harden up and won't pour correctly.
*Pour melted chocolate into molds. Tap against a hard surface to minimize air bubbles and get the chocolate into the crevices of the mold.
*Freeze for 10 minutes.
*Pull the chocolate out of the freezer and pop it out of the molds. Now you've got some spooky candy for yourself, or to give to someone special.
