How to make homemade candy bars step-by-step
1
Pour your melted chocolate into a piping bag and fill your moulds with chocolate until you reach an even layer. Gently tap your mould on to your workspace to remove air bubbles.
2
Place your mould on a flat surface in the freezer for 5-7 minutes until the chocolate is set and hard to the touch. Gently peel back the mould to check before removing the entire bar.
3
Once your chocolate is set, remove it from the pieces from the mould and grab your decorative pieces.
4
Now it's time to decorate your candy bars! Use drizzled chocolate or a kitchen torch to melt the surface of the bar, then immediately apply sprinkles or decor pieces before your chocolate hardens.
5
To create the cookie dough candy bar, drizzle white chocolate on to the bar and apply sprinkles. Adhere the cookie dough ball on to the bar using a drop of chocolate.
6
To create the funfetti candy bar, use a kitchen torch to melt the surface of the chocolate and apply sprinkles and the rainbow icing decoration.
7
To create the ice cream bar, use the kitchen torch to adhere the sprinkles and the piece of sugar cone. Add a little of the pink chocolate to the corner of the bar to adhere the mine ice cream cone decoration to resemble melted ice cream.
8
To create the Oreo-flavored bar, use a kitchen torch to adhere the sprinkles and the Oreo cookie piece.
9
Time to tuck in! If you can resist eating them all, you can store leftovers at room temperature in an air tight container.
