Chocolate bugs are easy and fun to make, and you can use them to decorate almost any kind of dessert. You can easily turn a cupcake, pudding, cookie, rice krispie square.... into a fun Halloween treat by place a bug on it!
How to make chocolate bugs:
- Microwave chocolate chips at half power for 40 seconds.
- Stir
- Microwave for another 40 seconds
- Stir until smooth
- Pour melted chocolate into a piping bag or freezer bags
- Tie up the bag, and cup a small opening
- Draw bugs on wax paper.
- Add candy eyes on the bugs (optional)
Use these chocolate bugs to decorate the dessert of your choice
Chocolate spider on vanilla pudding
Chocolate beetles
I also make some bugs with candy melts
Spooky?
Note:
Chocolate chips and candy melts are both very easy to work with. However, there are some big differences between them.
- They taste different. In my opinion, chocolate chips taste much better.
- Chocolate takes much longer to set. It took a few hours for my chocolate bug to set while my candy melt bugs were set in only 10 minutes.
- Candy melts are much harder. If you are creating something with small details, you better use candy melts.
