Homemade Chocolate Freckles!

Did you grow up with chocolate freckles as a kid?  Chocolate covered in a sea of hundreds and thousands...well now you can make your own {any size you want}!

I mentioned in a previous post that we made a couple of things for Miss 8's party favour bags.  Well here is the sweet addition to the bag!

What do you need?

Ingredients
350 g dark chocolate melts
100s and 1000s 

Note: The oil was used to grease the cookie cutter so it isn't actually an ingredient! It just got into the wrong photo!

Picture


Equipment
2 oven trays lined with baking paper
microwave safe jug
large spoon 
small spoons
cookie cutter
plastic container or bowl
cooking oil spray
Picture

Method
1. Place the chocolate melts into the microwave safe jug.
2. Heat the chocolate for 1 1/2 minutes.
3. Stir the chocolate until smooth.
4. Oil the cookie cutter (use whatever you want for a desirable size).

5. Pour the chocolate into the cookie cutter or spoon out the chocolate. Remove the cutter once you get the shape you want.
6. Flatten and smooth out the chocolate.
7. Pour some 100s and 1000s into a plastic container or bowl.
8. Spoon a generous amount of 100s and 1000s over the chocolate circle.
Picture
9. Repeat steps 5 through to 9 until you use up all the chocolate.
10.Place in the fridge to set. {The time will vary depending on how thick your chocolate is.}
11.Shake off excess 100s and 1000s.
12.Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.

The kids and I were really pleased with how these turned out.  I was a bit wary of them pouring and spreading the chocolate, so I did those parts.  {Must have been in a don't-mess-up-my-kitchen sort of mood. Do you have those days?} The kids especially loved generously sprinkling over the 100s and 1000s. You could definitely use white or milk chocolate instead of dark.

These homemade chocolate freckles would make a lovely gift or something sweet for the school cake stall.

Do you like chocolate freckles?

That looks like it would be a lot of fun to make! I think I would also spend lots of time eating the chocolate before it melted!

Yum. I love freckles still and occasionally buy a packet to deocate the kids cupcakes although I eat more than gets used for decorating. Great activity to do with the kids.

Thats so cool. My girls would love that. I think I'd just have to close my eyes when the sprinkles come out. I can see them going EVERYWHERE!!

That's why we put them into a smaller container but mess is probably inevitable. I have to chose my days!

Oh I love homemade freckles. How great that your kids helped out (can totally understand your 'don't mess up my kitchen' frame of mind though! Thank you for linking up with our Fabulous Foodie Fridays party!

Hundreds and thousands are just begging to make a big mess though! Thanks Lucy.

Hi Cindy, great tutorial. Make your own freckles might be just the thing for my two who love to cook, but don't always have the attention span for it!

Kids love sprinkling hundreds and thousands! The trick is to get them onto the chocolate.
