Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears







Heaven is... Skinny dipping in a Pool of Chocolate!


What you'll need:


  • Double Boiler, Electric Chocolate Melting Pot or Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Large baking sheet pan
  • Wax Paper
  • Dinner fork
  • Chocolate Dipping Wafers (Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate or ChocoMaker Dark Chocolate flavored Fondue Dipping Candy)
  • Gummy Bears (for quality, look for Black Forest brand)

1. Melt chocolate in melting pot.

2. While waiting for chocolate to melt, line a baking sheet pan with waxed paper.

3. One at a time, dip Gummy Bears into melted chocolate, turning once to cover all sides. Quickly lift out gummy bear from melting pot with fork and tap fork on edge of pot to allow excess chocolate to drip off. (Make sure not to let gummy bears sit in melted chocolate for too long. You'll want to work quickly so as not to let the gummy bears melt.)

4. Drop gummy bears onto waxed paper. Let cool.

5. Gummy bears can be handled after the chocolate has cooled and set. Store in airtight container.


Chocolate covered gummy bears are a favorite of mine. When I was a child my mother used to treat my siblings and me to sweets at the gourmet candy shop. I used to love sampling the lovely truffles and bonbons! Each of us were allowed to purchase 1/2 a pound of candies. Among the different selections we purchased, one of us always chose Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears! It was fun sharing our bags of sweets with each other!
