Directions to Make Pop It Chocolate Bars
Make sure that the Pop It toy has been thoroughly cleaned before starting this recipe project. Check beforehand to make sure it is safe and non-toxic. Don’t use it in the microwave or in any direct heat.
Put M&Ms in all of the bubbles (with the exception of the eyes where you are going to put CANDY EYES! If you are a little OCD, make sure all of the candies have the M either facing up or down.
Melt the candy wafers or chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave – in 30 second intervals – until creamy. Scoop or pour it over the candies making sure that there aren’t any gaps.
Use a knife to spread it if you want a super smooth and level candy bar once chilled.
Chill in the fridge until hardened then pop out the candy and form the gator.
