Chocolate Boos Recipe

4 from 1 ratings

For this recipe, it is important to use cocoa-flavored candy drops, not chocolate. If you use chocolate, such as Lindt, Valrhona, etc., the chocolate will need to be tempered, and that is not necessary with the cocoa candy drops.

Ingredients

8 cocoa-flavored candy drops*
orange oil
1 powdered sugar

Directions

To flavor the candy, add a couple drops of orange oil. (But remember, a little goes a long way.)
Sift half of the powdered sugar in an even layer on a cookie sheet.
Put the candy drops in a microwaveable bowl and melt using 30 second bursts. Make sure to always stir between bursts. It will melt quickly. The texture of the candy drops is thick and will most likely not run. Scrape it up and put it into either a pastry bag or zip-lock bag. You will not need a pastry tip for this. Simply cut off the tip of the bag, making a ¼-inch hole.
Now, write “BOO” with the melted chocolate in the powdered sugar. Write it anyway you like but make sure the letters are all connected to each other. Before the chocolate completely sets, sift some more powdered sugar over the letters. When you have everything finished, put the cookie sheet in the refrigerator until the chocolate has completely set.
Remove the pan from the fridge and take out your chocolate boos.
As long as the room is cool, they will last and do not need to be covered.
