Ingredients
Method
- Make sure your skeleton candy bar mold is clean and dry.
- Place the white candy coating in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second increments, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.
- Continue to heat and stir until melted and smooth.
- Spoon the melted coating into the skeleton mold—you may find it easier to transfer it to a paper cone, piping bag, or plastic bag with the tip snipped off, since some of the bone cavities are small and narrow.
- Gently tap the mold against the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
- Run a metal spatula or knife along the top to remove any excess coating and make the edges of the molds clean.
- Refrigerate the mold until the white chocolate sets, about 15 minutes.
- Turn it upside-down and gently flex the mold so that the chocolate bones pop out.
- Repeat the process until you have 6 full chocolate skeletons. (If you use the mold I used, you'll need to do this 3 times total.)
- While you wait for the white chocolate skeletons, place the chocolate cookies in a food processor and process them until they're fine crumbs.
- Set aside.
- Make sure your candy bar mold is clean and dry.
- Melt the chocolate candy coating the same way you melted the white coating.
- Spoon the chocolate into the mold and tap it gently to even out the chocolate and get rid of any air bubbles.
- Gently place the white chocolate skeleton pieces on top of the chocolate bars.
- Depending on the size of your molds, you may not use every piece of the skeleton—I omitted a few arm pieces to make my skeletons fit.
- Sprinkle cookie dirt all over the top of the bars.
- Refrigerate the tray to set the chocolate, for about 20 minutes.
- Once set, gently flex the mold to remove the bars and pop them out.
- Use a dry brush to brush stray dirt off the tops of the skeletons.
- Repeat the process until all of your candy bars are formed.
- These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several weeks.
