Last night I experimented with making chocolate letters in the Letter Ice silicone molds. They turned out so cute! I just used milk chocolate chips, which I melted in the microwave. I filled the molds almost to the top, then topped them off with some festive sprinkles. I let them set-up in the fridge for 20 minutes or so, then easily popped them out of the molds.
They look great on a plate:

…or individually packaged to hand out to friends or tie on top of some special gifts:

My family has been enjoying them, so I’ll have to make another batch for giving!
On a side note, if you are planning to make any gift purchases from the Let’s Explore Shop, I am recommending you place your order by tomorrow (12/16/08), so your items can reach you in a timely manner. Thanks!
Happy playing and gifting!

Oh my gosh, those are fabulous! I’ve been wanting those letter trays since I saw them. Then even more when I saw you make crayons in them. Now I think I can wait no longer. I just wish I had ordered when you were having that weekend shipping sale! We’ve been making a lot of our Christmas gifts this year & I know my son will *love* making chocolate letters to give to family members. And the sprinkles are the perfect touch. I can see a plate full of #5’s for his birthday party next year, too!!!
fabulous!!!!! i live in thailand and don’t have access to chocolate chips or the trays or any of this great stuff i see all over the internet, but i’m bookmarking like mad for when i move back home!
thanks for putting this up – its a super cute idea!
These are AWESOME! I saw these molds when you made crayons out of them. Now you’ve sold me for sure with the chocolate. Such a great gift idea.
Wow — these are super, duper cool!
I have those molds, I love this idea! I’ve only done ice so far, I really need to do this.
OK, do they need to be sprayed with a non-stick spray or something? I’m having trouble getting the chilled letters out without breaking. My son really enjoyed making them! Now if we can just get them out…
I’ve got a question for you- we made some crayons in our mold the other day and it seems that there is some residual crayon….(or something at the bottom of the letter molds that didn’t come off with washing). did you have a problem with that? I’m wondering what to do …or just leave it. I’m wondering if I can use the mold for food stuff now.
Those alphabet crayons were lots of fun to make!
oh my, oh, my!
I am so glad to have found your site.
i’m thinking these as valentine treats for my preschoolers.
eager to read more.
