Tips for Making Handmade Filled Chocolates

Here are a few tips that I’ve learned from making these, hopefully, can help you.

You will be adding glitter to these, so spray the glitter in the mold before you pour the chocolate.

Make sure you use candy melts instead of chips. Microwave the candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals. You’ll have a smoother melt, which will help when you add the chocolate to the mold.

Make sure to get a thick coat all around the mold because if it is thin, it will break, and that won’t be fun. I find using the back of the spoon helps a lot.

Also, add a little more chocolate on the edges because you will need that extra support when putting the chocolate sphere together.

So after you have the chocolate in the molds, it’s time to put it in the fridge for a couple of minutes. Then, carefully take them out of the mold and fill half of the balls with your goodies- I highly recommend getting cool but small Halloween candies.

Another tip I want to share is I found that I was leaving fingerprints all over the chocolate. Now that may be okay if making for the family BUT use food-safe gloves to avoid fingerprints.

Place Witches Brew Filled Chocolates in an air-tight container and store them at room temperature to store or gift these. Now I’m assuming these will go fast, but I wouldn’t keep them longer than 7-10 days.

Yield: 3 Filled Chocolates

Witches Brew Crackable Filled Chocolates
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ + ¼ c black candy melts, divided
  • Purple Edible Glitter Spray
  • Silicone Half Sphere Mold
  • Small Spoon
  • 1 Small Heat Safe Plate
  • Gummy Worms
  • Chocolate Eyeball Candies
  • Gummy Frogs
  • Candy Eyeball Sprinkles
  • Black, Orange, and Purple Mixed Sprinkles (or any other spooky/Halloween themed sprinkles)
  • Small Wooden Mallet

Instructions

  1. 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).
  2. Place the silicone mold on a flat tray or baking sheet, and spray each of the mold openings with the purple edible glitter spray. Cover all over the inside with the glitter.
  3. 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. If the candy is pooled at the bottom, spread again to evenly coat all sides, or your sphere will be less circular, and more flat on the bottoms from the pooled candy. You also don’t want the sides/bottom to be too thick, or it is very difficult to break them open with the mallet.
  4. Place in the refrigerator for 3-5 minutes to set.
  5. Once set, pull the sides gently away from the candy sphere, and push up from the bottom to release the candy.
  6. 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.
  7. Fill the half with gummy worms, chocolate candy eyeballs, and gummy frogs.
  8. 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.
  9. Next, melt the remaining ¼ c of black candy melts the same as you did in step 1. Use a spoon, drizzle the candy melts back and forth onto the spheres.
  10. 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.
  11. Let set for another 3-5 minutes.
  12. When you are ready to enjoy, just tap with a small wooden mallet until the candy cracks open.
