You will need:
- Carmit Chocolate Bar
- skewers
- confectioners’ sugar
- Lieber’s non pareils (optional)
Directions:
1.Use the skewer to etch a design or words into the chocolate.
2. Rub a little bit confectioner’s sugar across the chocolate so that it fills the grooves.
3. Use a paper towel to clean off the extra confectioners’ sugar.
4. Dip the sides of the chocolate into melted chocolate and then into sprinkles (optional)
To make the seating cards, cut a bar of chocolate into small pieces. We made three per bar. To make the seating cards stand, use some melted chocolate to attach a chocolate square to the back of the chocolate.
To turn this idea into a little kit, you can fill mini jars with confectioners sugar and place them in a bag with a chocolate bar and skewers. See supplies below.
Tip: You can trace cookies cutters and use rulers to help make straight lines.
