Minion Cups with Yellow Chocolate

Time: 1 Hour

Servings: 8

Ingredients

5 Cups Wilton Yellow Chocolate Candy Melts

Instructions

Place one cup of yellow chocolate candy melts in a microwaveable bowl and heat in the microwave for 60 seconds. Remove and stir. Repeat in 20-second intervals, or until completely melted. Be sure not to overheat. Remove from microwave and stir until chocolate is completely smooth and silky.

Slowly pour yellow chocolate into each shot mold. Be sure that mold has been thoroughly cleaned and dried ahead of time.

Repeat this process until all 8 shot molds have been filled.

Tap mold against countertop to remove all air bubbles. Lift mold above your head to check for air bubbles. If there are none, you may proceed to the next step. Otherwise, repeat tapping. You may also stick a butter knife into each mold to help eliminate hidden air bubbles.

Place mold in freezer for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Remove mold from freezer. Slow invert each shot mold until chocolate candy melt is released. Carefully place each chocolate mold upright onto a clean, flat surface.

Using your black writing gel, depending on which Minion you want, draw 1 to 2 oversized circles (for your Minion’s eyes). Fill each circle. Carefully place 1 to 2 candy eyeballs into each circle. Using black writing gel again, draw your Minion’s mouth. Let your kid’s have fun with this! They will have unique ideas!
