CANDY BAR PARTY PUPS

CANDY BAR PARTY PUPS
These candy canines are so doggone cute, I had a hard time giving them away! I surprised my daughter’s second grade class with a great big litter of these chocolate dogs on the last day of school. The kids just loved guessing all the different types of candies that were used to make them – Twix candy bars, Hershey’s Kisses, Tootsie Rolls and chocolate chips.
INGREDIENTS :
  • 12 small Twix candy bars
  • 6 small Tootsie Rolls
  • 12 Hershey’s Kisses
  • 12 mini Hershey’s Kisses (found in the baking aisle)
  • 48 chocolate chips
  • 24 icing eyes (found at most baking or hobby and craft stores)
  • ¼ cup chocolate candy melt wafers
  • 3 or 4 black candy melt wafers
  • Small plastic squeeze bottle

INTRUCTONS :
  1. To make the dog bodies, start by carving holes at the front of your Twix candy bars. (This is where the heads will connect.) Tear off tiny pieces of Tootsie Roll and roll to form the tails. Melt the chocolate candy melt wafers in a microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour into a small squeeze bottle. Attach the tails to the back ends of the Twix bars with a dab of candy melt. Squeeze four dollups of candy melt to the bottom corners of the Twix bars, and attach the chocolate chips for the legs. Set aside, letting everything cool and harden.
  2. To make the dog heads, start by forming the ears with small pieces of Tootsie Roll. Attach the ears to the sides of the Hersey’s Kisses with dabs of candy melt. Attach the icing eyes with more candy melt. Then, attach the mini Hershey’s Kisses to the backs of the heads with more candy melt. (This will become the dog’s neck.) Allow the heads to cool and harden.
  3. To attach the heads to the bodies, squeeze candy melt into the carved holes on the fronts of the Twix bars. Insert the mini Hershey’s Kisses into the holes and allow them to cool and harden. You may have to hold the heads in place for few seconds while they cool and harden.
  4. If desired, add some paper party hats!
  5. Chocolate dogs will keep at room temperature for 3-5 days or may be stored in a sealed food container for up to a month.
