Ingredients

• 200 grams high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
• 50 grams white chocolate (optional, for decoration)
• 1 teaspoon butter (to grease molds, if needed)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare frog-shaped silicone molds or plastic molds. If the molds are not non-stick, lightly grease them with butter using a pastry brush or paper towel.

Step 2

Set up a double boiler: Fill a small pot with 2-3 inches of water and bring it to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl over the pot, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.

Step 3

Add the dark chocolate to the bowl and gently melt it. Stir occasionally with a silicone spatula until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between.

Step 4

Optional: If using white chocolate for decoration, melt it separately following the same process.

Step 5

If decorating, use a fine-tipped piping bag or a toothpick to add small details with white chocolate to the molds (e.g., the frog’s eyes or patterns). Let the white chocolate harden for 5 minutes in the fridge before proceeding.

Step 6

Pour or spoon the melted dark chocolate into the molds, filling each cavity completely. Gently tap the mold on the counter to remove air bubbles and ensure the chocolate settles into all details of the mold.

Step 7

Scrape the surface of the mold with a bench scraper or flat spatula to remove excess chocolate for a clean finish.

Step 8

Refrigerate the molds for 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set and hardened.

Step 9

Carefully pop the frogs out of the molds by gently pressing from the back. Handle with care to avoid breaking the delicate shapes.

Step 10

Store the chocolate frogs in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Serve and enjoy your magical creation!
