Today was a blast!! Teenagers and chocolate?? This sounds like a recipe for disaster but it was super fun! The kids spent 2 hours melting, mixing, pouring, creating, and eating chocolate a portion of which they were wearing on their clothes.
 |
| The work area had all the supplies. Long tea spoons, candy molds, the melted chocolate, and a variety of items for covering with chocolate. |
 |
| Obviously pretzels but I like to explain anyway. Just dip the end and let it dry. |
 |
| Caramel covered chocolate. Form the caramel into balls then fill the mold half full of chocolate, freeze for 2 minutes, add 1 caramel ball to each chocolate-filled mold then freeze another 2 minutes, and then more chocolate to cover the caramel then freeze an additional 2-5 minutes. |
 |
| Hearts. |
 |
| Flowers. |
 |
| Dog bones. |
I like chocolate but by the time this was over, blah!!!! I felt a cavity coming on, and I felt a little pre-diabetic. The nice part was seeing all the kids interacting and having fun. This was a middle school-aged function and you never know with teenagers but this is a fine group of kids, well-mannered, well-behaved, and respectful to adults. We had a great time!
