Chocolate Covered Frogs
Gummy Frogs
Semi-sweet milk chocolate pieces (can be substituted with white or dark chocolate, depending on your taste)
5 ounces unsweetened pieces, coarsely chopped
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/8 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1½ cups of sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
Directions: Cover a plate with wax paper. This will be used later, after the frogs are dipped. Place chocolate pieces into a microwave safe bowl, and place bowl in microwave. Heat at a medium heat in thirty second intervals, stirring after each one, until the chocolate is completely melted. Be careful not to burn it! Carefully dip the back end of a gummy frog into the chocolate. Place dipped frog onto the wax paper-covered plate. Repeat step 3 with the remaining gummy frogs.
Place the plate of dipped frogs into refrigerator, until the chocolate hardens.
