How To Make Cute Grinch S'mores Bars
1. Melt the white chocolate: Slowly melt your wafers in the microwave according to package directions. Stir until smooth, then mix in the green food gel.
2. Build the graham cracker sandwich: Spread a layer of marshmallow cream between two graham crackers. Try to keep it in the center so it doesn't ooze out too much.
3. Assemble in mold: Spoon some melted green chocolate into the mold, then gently press the sandwich in. Cover the top with more melted chocolate until the sandwich is completely coated.
4. Freeze until firm: Place the mold in the freezer to set everything up quickly.
5. Decorate and finish: Drizzle extra melted chocolate over the top using a piping bag. Stick on a red sprinkle heart in the corner using a little melted chocolate as glue. Let dry before serving.
Tips For Grinch S'mores Bars
Tip 1: If your chocolate starts to seize up or gets too thick, add a small bit of coconut oil to loosen it up.
Tip 2: Make cleanup easy by lining your workspace with parchment paper.
Tip 3: Don't overfill the mold with melted chocolate. You want just enough to coat the sandwich.
