Cute Chocolate Bunny Filled With Sixlets

Cute Chocolate Bunny Filled With Sixlets

Ins’t this guy adorable? He’s all made out of chocolate will a hollow interior, perfect for filling him out with your child’s favorite candy. Don’t worry, making them is very easy! I will guide you with a step by step guide so you can see exactly how everything is made.  Your Easter celebration will look so pretty with a Cute Chocolate Bunny Filled With Sixlets.

Now that you learn this technique, you can make any chocolate hollow shape you may like and fill it out with candy, treats or even little chocolate bom-boms inside. YUM! These would make beautiful decorations for a party or even favors.

Here’s what you need to get started:

White Chocolate Chips, Sixlets, Purple food coloring (or red and blue to make purple) and a 2 sided plastic bunny mold.

To start, all you need to do is melt the white chocolate chips and color it with the food coloring little by little to achieve your desired purple hue. Or any color of your choice.

Then, with the use of a spoon or a small spatula, spread the chocolate all over the mold on both sides. You will be working with 2 molds that will come together when dry:

Do not fill the mold to the top, because you want to leave room for your pearl sixlets. The idea is to create a hollow bunny so we can later fill with candy.

Tap the mold against your countertop to ensure any visible air bubbles at the front of each mold are eliminated. Lift the mold above your head to check for air bubbles.  Once all of the air bubbles are removed, tilt the mold back and forth in order to allow

the chocolate to spread evenly and along the sides. Next, take a small spoon or unused paintbrush and distribute the chocolate evenly onto the sides of the bunny.Ensure that the sides are not too thin or they will break upon removal from the mold.

Freeze for 20 to 30 minutes or until the chocolate inside the bunnies have set. Place it on the countertop and gently pop the front and back molds from the plastic. Place them onto a baking sheet or a large plate.

See how cute and shiny they look? Now the best part! Let’s fill them up with some sixlets:

We are almost done! All we need to do is to put the front and back together.

To glue the 2 sides, you need to melt a little more of the chocolate chips and tint them in the same purple hue. Then use a small paintbrush or a pastry bag with a small hole and gently spread the glue on the edges of the bunny. Then place the other part of the back part over the front part ensuring that the sides align perfectly.

Freeze for a few minutes and enjoy!

See? easy! Once you make one, the second and third you will be an expert bunny maker.

Cute Chocolate Bunny Filled With Sixlets

Total Time

1 hr 15 mins

 

Ingredients

• 2 Cups White Chocolate Baking Chips
• ½ Cup Chocolate Pearl Sixlets
• 1 Medium Two-Sided Plastic Bunny Mold
• Red & Blue Food Coloring or Purple if you can find it

Instructions

1. Add 1½ cup of white chocolate baking chips to a medium microwavable mixing bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Microwave twice more at 30 seconds each time, stirring in between, or until completely melted. Heating for short periods (such as 30 seconds at a time) and continuously stirring helps to ensure the chocolate does not burn. Remove from the microwave and stir until chocolate is completely smooth and silky. There may be a few air bubbles throughout
2. In this recipe, I added 1-2 drops of red food coloring and 1-2 drops of blue food coloring to create a shade of purple. However, I also highly recommend purchasing Wilton’s paste-based food coloring. You can buy purple by itself or in a multi-color pack. Stir the melted chocolate until the color is evenly distributed and as desired
3. Be certain that your plastic bunny mold has been cleaned and dried completely. If there are water or debris in the mold this will ruin the appearance of the chocolate bunny
4. Slowly pour, or spoon in, the melted chocolate into the front and back molds. Do not fill the mold to the top, because you want to leave room for your pearl sixlets. Remember, you are creating a hollow bunny!
5. Tap the mold against your countertop to ensure any visible air bubbles at the front of each mold are eliminated. Lift the mold above your head to check for air bubbles. If there are none, you may proceed to the next step
6. Once all of the air bubbles are removed, tilt the mold back and forth in order to allow the chocolate to spread evenly and along the sides. Next, take a small spoon or unused paintbrush and distribute the chocolate evenly onto the sides of the bunny. Ensure that the sides are not too thin or they will break upon removal from the mold
7. Place the filled plastic bunny mold in the freezer for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the mold from the freezer. Wear candy-making gloves if you have them (they eliminate fingerprints). Lightly touch the inside of the mold to ensure it is solid. Place it on the countertop and gently pop the front and back molds from the plastic. Place them onto a baking sheet or a large plate
8. Add pearl sixlets to the hollow center of the front OR back mold (do not fill both sides)
9. Add ½ cup white chocolate baking chips to a small microwavable mixing bowl. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. If needed, microwave for another 30 seconds or until completely melted. But, again, be careful that the chocolate does not burn. Remove and stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and silky
10. Add 1 drop of red food coloring and 1 drop of blue food coloring to create a shade of purple that matches the body of the bunny. Stir the melted chocolate until the color is evenly distributed and as desired
11. Take a small spoon, unused paintbrush, OR icing bag (with a tiny round icing tip) and distribute a small string of chocolate along the rim of the front or back bunny molds (you don’t need to do both sides). Take the side that is not filled with pearl sixlets and press it onto the opposite side, ensuring that edges match perfectly. Carefully place the pearl sixlet filled bunny onto a plate and into the freezer for approximately 20 minutes. Remove the bunny from the freezer. Gently touch the edges to ensure the mold is securely sealed
12. If you have a bumpy seam, take a small, sharp knife and gently etch away at the bumps. Be sure not to press too firmly or etch away at the chocolate too much as holes will form
13. Lightly dampen a paper towel with cool water and wipe away excess chocolate flakes at the seam. You’ve done it – you have created a molded purple (white chocolate) Easter bunny filled with delightful pearl sixlets!
