Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and butter together, stirring continuously until smooth and velvety. This process should take about 3-4 minutes, ensuring that the mixture is thoroughly combined. |
| 2 | Once melted, remove the chocolate mixture from the heat and prepare your frog molds. You can use silicone molds or even create your own frog shapes using candy molds. |
| 3 | Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the frog molds, filling them to the top. Use a spoon to smooth out the surface and ensure that the chocolate fills all the crevices of the mold. |
| 4 | Place the filled molds in the refrigerator to set for about 5-10 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch. This step helps the chocolate frogs hold their shape when removed from the molds. |
| 5 | Once the chocolate has set, gently remove the frogs from the molds and place them on a clean surface. If there are any rough edges, you can use a knife to carefully trim them for a neat finish. |
| 6 | Now, it’s time to add the finishing touch! Using a clean paintbrush, “paint” additional melted chocolate onto the tops of the frogs to create their signature chocolate coating. Be sure to coat each frog evenly for a polished appearance. |
| 7 | Allow the chocolate coating to dry completely before serving. You can speed up this process by placing the frogs back in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Once dry, your Chocolate Covered Frogs are ready to enchant and delight! |
