Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears
Description
This recipe involves coating gummy bears in a smooth mixture of melted chocolate chips and coconut oil. The melted chocolate is prepared by microwaving chocolate chips with coconut oil until creamy, then gummy bears are added in small batches and coated evenly. Using a slotted spoon helps remove the gummy bears, letting excess chocolate drip off before placing them on parchment paper for cooling.
After all gummy bears are coated, they are chilled in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens, creating a firm shell over the chewy candy. The coconut oil helps the chocolate remain smooth and eases coating.
These chocolate-covered gummy bears combine gummy candy's chewy texture with the crisp snap of the chocolate exterior. They can be served chilled as a fun snack or treat. Using a slotted spoon ensures excess chocolate does not pool around the bears, keeping them neat.
