Making a chocolate rabbit from a mold is a simple and fun task.
Making a chocolate rabbit from a mold is a simple and enjoyable task that only requires a few tools and materials. There are many different rabbit molds in stores that are available to buy, so you can choose from flat molds or 3-dimensional ones. The chocolate you use will require gentle heating in a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water, as this is the best way to melt it without overheating or burning it.
Instructions
Melting the chocolate
1. Fill the saucepan half full with cold water, and place on a medium heat on the stove.
2. Empty the chocolate chips into the glass bowl, and place the bowl on top of the saucepan. The bowl shouldn't become immersed in the water, but should rest comfortably on top of the saucepan so the bottom of the bowl is dipped in the water.
3. Use the spoon to stir the chocolate continually until it has a smooth, even consistency. If you find the chocolate is sticking to the bowl, turn the heat down.
4. Turn the heat off, and using an oven glove remove the bowl from the top of the saucepan.
Making the mold
5. Pour enough chocolate into the mold to fill it to the top, smoothing it to the edges with a spoon if required.
6. If you are using a 3-dimensional rabbit mold, use a pastry brush to coat the mold with the melted chocolate. Leave the layer to set and form a shell. Then brush on another layer of chocolate to thicken.
7. Place the mold into the fridge, and leave until set. Once set, remove the mold from the fridge and place it face down on a flat surface. Flex the plastic mold to release the chocolate. Your chocolate rabbit is now ready to be wrapped, packaged or decorated.
