What you need for chocolate covered gummy bears
How to make chocolate covered gummy bears
- You’ll begin making your chocolate by melting the cacao butter fully. You can either do this over a double boiler on the stovetop, or by heating in the microwave in a heat-safe bowl for 30-second increments until the cacao butter is melted.
- Once the cacao butter is fully melted, whisk in the maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the gummy bears into the homemade chocolate and mix to combine. Use a slotted spoon to remove the gummy bears, letting any excess chocolate drip off, and place them on a cooling rack with parchment paper lined under it.
- Chill the gummy bears in the fridge for 10 minutes, then dip the gummy bears into the chocolate a second time, removing them in the same way.
- Chill the gummy bears in the fridge for 10 more minutes, then enjoy!
More tips for this recipe
Looking to make it more professional-looking? Take your time individually dipping each gummy bear into the chocolate.
Use a fork to dip the gummy bear in the chocolate and place it face up on your cooling rack.
Taking the time to individually dip each gummy bear will give you a more polished look.
But if you’re short on time, simply mixing all the gummy bears at once will still leave you with a delicious chocolate gummy treat!
