Kids Candy Bar: DIY Chocolate Candies

Raid the pantry to see what fun add-ins you can find for your own chocolate candies! Kids love making their own food and these DIY chocolate candies are super easy...and yummy! 

Last week, as I was finding space for groceries in my pantry, I couldn't help buy notice that the baking shelf was overflowing with bags and bags of candies and nuts leftover from the holidays. We also had two bags of Ghirardelli melting chocolate left over too. An idea was born...one that my girls were totally on board with. DIY chocolate candies!

I filled up a muffin tin with goodies and found a plastic chocolate mold that we've had forever.

The girls chopped mint chips and nuts into small pieces and had a great time coming up with combinations to use in their chocolates.

We melted the chocolate and added a small amount into each chocolate mold, followed by a sprinkling of add-ins.

Some looked more appetizing than others, that's for sure!

 

We topped them off with chocolate and set the trays in the freezer for a few minutes.

When they were set we popped them out and had our own chocolates! The most unique chocolates out there. Kaylee said, "Just so you know---peanut butter and mint don't taste that great together." She now knows from experience.
