First, pour white chocolate into a bear-shaped silicone mold.
Chill until set, then draw the face with a chocolate pen.
Use a brown chocolate pen to create the base, place a stick in the center, and drizzle more chocolate over the top.
Set the bear you made onto the base, add toppings around it, and you’re done! For a cute look, swirl the chocolate pen to create a lattice pattern for the base.
If you prefer simple toppings, you can also make the base using chocolate pens in a few different colors.

Prepare stick-shaped snacks and a variety of chocolates of your choice.
Melt each type of chocolate separately using a hot water bath, then drizzle it over the stick snacks.
The key is to add the decorations before the chocolate sets.
Adding a big bear-shaped cookie or chocolate gives it a cute, original touch.
Once everything is fully dry and the decorations are secure, wrap them up and you’re done.
It might also look cute to swirl different chocolates together for a marbled effect.

Using silicone molds makes it easy to remove the chocolates cleanly without losing their shape, so it’s highly recommended.
Marshmallow Chocolate Cookies
Here’s a recipe for marshmallow chocolate cookies that’s easy to make—just stack and bake.
This idea uses an oven, so be careful to avoid burns while you work.
First, place marshmallows on a baking sheet and bake at 110° for 10 minutes.
Once the marshmallows have softened, place store-bought cookies on top and bake for another 40 minutes to finish.
When placing the cookies, press them lightly into the marshmallows.
If you have time, you can make the cookies from scratch instead.
Water chocolate made with just water and chocolate
Did you know you can make water chocolate using only water and chocolate? First, prepare your favorite chocolate bar and chop it finely.
Next, put the chopped chocolate and 35 cc of hot water into a bowl and mix well.
Set the bowl in an ice water bath and keep stirring as it cools.
When it starts to thicken, transfer the chocolate to a container and chill it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
The result is a luxuriously rich chocolate with a flavor that’s a bit different from eating it as-is.
Eating it with a spoon is a fun experience for kids, so be sure to try it together as a parent-child activity!
