How to Make Breakable Chocolate
The complete list of ingredients, quantities, and instructions can be found in the printable recipe card below.
- Heat 1 ½ c of black candy melts per package instructions until smooth/creamy. (I heat them in the microwave, but there are instructions on how to melt on the stovetop on the package) (Photo 1)
- Place the silicone mold on a flat tray or baking sheet, and spray each mold opening with the purple edible glitter spray. Cover all over the inside with glitter.
- Next, spoon approximately 1 1/2 tbsp of the melted candy into the molds. Coat the inside of the mold with the back of a spoon. Make sure to make the edges a little thicker so that they don’t break when melding together. (Photo 2)
- If the candy is pooled at the bottom, spread again to coat all sides evenly, or your sphere will be less circular and more flat on the bases from the pooled candy. You also don’t want the sides/bottom to be too thick or challenging to break them open with the mallet. Place in the refrigerator for 3-5 minutes to set.
- Once set, pull the sides gently away from the candy sphere, and push up from the bottom to release the candy. Place a small heat-safe plate in the microwave and heat for approximately 20 seconds. Place one of the empty candy halves open side down on the plate, and twist slightly to melt the edges. (Photos 3 & 4)
- Fill the half with gummy worms, chocolate candy eyeballs, and gummy frogs. Place another candy half on the plate, twist to melt the edges a little, and then immediately place onto one of the candy-filled halves, and twist again slightly to close. If you have any gaps, you can heat a spoon in warm water and then rub across the seams to slightly melt together, or you can rub with your finger. Repeat this process until you have 3 filled candy spheres. (Photos 5 & 6)
- Next, melt the remaining ¼ c of black candy melts the same as you did in step 1.
- Using a spoon, drizzle the candy melts back and forth onto the spheres. Spray additional purple edible glitter onto the drizzles, and then immediately add the eyeball sprinkles and black, orange, and purple sprinkles. The black candy melts harden quickly, so you may need to add additional drizzles. Let set for another 3-5 minutes. (Photos 7 & 8)
- When you are ready to enjoy, tap with a small wooden mallet until the candy cracks open.
Recipe Tips
When melting the edges of your chocolate sphere. Do not put the sphere into the microwave, just the plate. You want to use the warm plate to soften the edges of your sphere slightly.
To smooth chocolate at the seams, dip a spoon in warm water, and then smooth the sides of the breakable chocolate with the back of the warmed spoon.
Storing Tips
Store the breakable chocolate in an airtight container for up to two weeks. You can place each ball into a small cellophane bag if you give them as a gift.
