Several weeks ago, I was knee-deep in chocolate! It seemed like all I did was make candy … hubby even learned how to make bark! We went thru about 30 pounds of chocolate plus all the nuts, caramel bits, peppermint, … Continue reading

I love it when I can use a product for more than one project … guess what I used to get the impressions in this candy.
If you guessed texture tiles that were designed for fondant or icing … you were right! I found these at Michael’s and are from Duff … of course! The two tiles (5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ each) come in one package and are pretty cheap inexpensive. This is what they look like …
This is what you will need …
Decide which side of the tiles you will use … I almost used the wrong side of the “words” tile … the words would have been backwards! Scoop some melted dark chocolate on the spider webs … and spread it around …
Using a spatula, scrape off excess chocolate (it can be reused). Let the chocolate firm up …
As you can see … it is not scraped perfectly clean …
Now repeat using orange melted candy on the words tile. Then mix some Rice Krispies into the melted white chocolate … you could leave it plain, add nuts or whatever you like. Pour the white chocolate on top of the spider webs and gently spread around …
Pour dark chocolate on the words tile and spread it around … then put the tiles in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to firm up …
The candy will remove from the tiles very easily. The edges are not smooth … but I think that’s OK … it adds character …
To decorate … I used melted orange chocolate and M&M’s to create spiders …
I used more melted chocolate to “glue” the skull candies …
This is one of those “flexible” projects … change-up the colors … use different decorations … use the whole tile or just a small part … use your imagination!
I like feedback … please leave a comment!!!
