Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams milk chocolate
- 100 grams creamy peanut butter
- 50 grams crispy rice cereal
- 30 grams butter
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 drops green food coloring (optional)
- 1 set toad-shaped silicone molds
Instructions
Melt the dark chocolate and milk chocolate together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Lightly coat the insides of the toad-shaped silicone molds with a thin layer of melted chocolate using a small spoon or food-safe brush. Reserve some melted chocolate for sealing the molds later. Place the molds in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.
Prepare the filling by mixing the creamy peanut butter, crispy rice cereal, butter (softened), powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and food coloring (if desired) in a medium bowl until fully combined.
Spoon small amounts of the filling into the chocolate-coated molds, leaving some space at the top for sealing with chocolate.
Cover the filling in each mold with a layer of the reserved melted chocolate, ensuring the edges of the mold are sealed to encase the filling fully.
Place the molds back in the freezer for another 10 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and the toads can be easily released from the molds.
Carefully remove the chocolate toads from the molds and serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a week.
