    Have you ever thought to yourself “what could I add to this homemade birthday cake that would add a little spark of magic to it?” Whether it’s a birthday cake or just a homemade treat that you made for the fun of it, you’ll probably want a topping that’s really easy to put together. After all, you just spent hours putting together a homemade dessert recipe and you’re probably about ready for a break. Well, I have got the perfect dessert topping solution for you! Homemade mini chocolate bars!

    Not only are these mini chocolate bars incredibly charming, but they are also ridiculously easy to make! You only need a few cooking tools and 2 ingredients to make these adorable little candy bars. Plus you can easily make these in just about any color to match your dessert or theme. Only a few materials, a super simple process, and even an easy clean up afterwards? Now that is real magic!

    To make easy homemade mini chocolate bars all you need is some candy melts, coconut oil, a candy melt pot, some chocolate bar- shaped silicone molds, and some spatulas. Just melt the candies and oil together in the melting pot, spoon the melted candy into the molds, scrape off any excess chocolate, and freeze flat.

    Candy- Making Equipment and Tools

    To make this whole candy bar-making process super easy and quick, I use a particular set of tools for ultimate candy success. 

    • Wilton candy melts pot
    • Spatulas
    • Silicone chocolate bar mold
    • Cake Spatula

    Helpful Hint:

    I specifically like using my candy melt pot over all other melting methods for any kind of candy-making projects! Since it keeps the chocolate at the perfect temperature through the melting process without ever overcooking the chocolate, it makes the entire process much easier and stress-free! Plus the silicone lining makes it super easy to clean up afterward.

    How to Make Mini Chocolate Bars

    Time to move on to melting these little candies into magic-inspired mini chocolate bars! As soon as you make these sweet little delights for the first time you will instantaneously get that feeling of being a kid in a candy shop again!

    1. First, combine the pink candy melts and the coconut oil in the candy melt pot. Melt them together on high, while stirring continuously with a heat resistant spatula.
    2. Then, spoon the melted chocolate into the chocolate bar silicone molds. Scrape the excess chocolate off with a cake spatula.
      1. I personally like to use several molds at the same time to speed up my process. I suggest using at least 2 silicone molds or more for big batches. 
    3. Next, place the silicone molds on a small baking sheet and transfer them to the freezer. Freeze the molds for 10 minutes.
      1. Make sure to lay the molds flat in the freezer!
    4. Finally, after the chocolate has hardened, carefully remove the chocolates from the silicone molds. Use a small knife to cut away any extra chocolate from the edges.
      1. Try not to handle the homemade candies too much as the body heat from your hands can make the chocolate melt.

    Homemade Mini Chocolate Bar Storage

    These homemade mini chocolate bars can actually stay good for much longer than other homemade desserts if they are stored properly.

    • Just transfer the mini chocolate bars to an airtight container. 
    • Use small cuts of parchment paper or wax paper in between the layers to help keep the chocolates separated and intact.
    • Homemade chocolates can be stored for up to 2 or 3 weeks, either stored in the fridge or in a cool, dry place out of the sun’s warm reach.
    • Always note the date when storing so you can keep track of the freshness and quality.
