Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (about 170g)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (about 120ml)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (about 25g)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (about 30g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Coating
- 1 cup vibrant green candy melts (about 170g)
- Edible glitter
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients needed to make the Wicked Witch Candy Bars to ensure you have everything ready before starting.
- Make Chocolate Mixture: In a low heat setting, combine the dark chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture melts and becomes smooth, creating the base of the candy bars.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Flavor: Mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the melted chocolate mixture. Stir well until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Set the Base: Line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper and pour the chocolate mixture into it. Spread evenly with a spatula for an even thickness. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until the mixture is fully firm.
- Cut and Coat Bars: Once firm, remove from the fridge and cut the chocolate slab into bars of desired size. Melt the green candy melts separately until smooth. Dip each bar into the melted candy, allowing excess coating to drip off. Place dipped bars on parchment paper and sprinkle with edible glitter for a sparkling finish. Let them set completely before serving.
Notes
- Use good quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Ensure the chocolate mixture is fully firm before cutting to prevent cracking.
- The green candy melts can be found in craft or baking stores, often used for cake decorating.
- Store the candy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- To speed up setting, you can place the bars in the freezer for 15-20 minutes after dipping.
