Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today we are gonna be making something super easy mode! I went online and I found
these really cute Video Game Controllers. I’ll put a link down below if you want
to check ‘em out! But I have a lot of friends who love video gaming, and their
birthdays are coming up. So I thought, let’s make some chocolate classic controllers!
Let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: Some chocolate, you can use dark chocolate,
white chocolate, I’m using milk chocolate because it’s my favorite! But you can
use whatever you like. And then for fillings, I’m choosing caramel, nuts, and some
chopped up candy bars, I’m gonna be chopping up Twix, but for the filings, you can
pick whatever you like.
If you want to add Rice Krispies, that will kind of taste like a crunch bar, so
you can get creative with it!
You will also need your video game controller mold, a little baking brush, some
plastic baggies, I’m using a pipe bag, but you can use a sandwich bag around the
house, little elastic ties to tie them off with, and some toothpicks.
Let’s put ‘em all together!
The first thing that we’re gonna do is chop up some of our fillings.
We’re gonna chop up our peanuts, and candy bar of choice.
So I’m gonna take all these nuts, put them on a cutting board.
I’m just nuts about baking!
Then you’re gonna take a sharp cutting knife,
and we’re just gonna chop, chop, chop, chop, chop!
Now you’re gonna open up your candy bar, and we’re gonna chop ‘em up again.
Finely chop them.
Now that we’ve got 2 of our fillings chopped up, we are gonna heat up our
chocolate and caramel! Ding-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun!
That’s my sugar high dance!
After you’ve heated up your chocolate and it’s all melted, we are gonna pour it
into this plastic bag for more control, so I’m just using a little spatula,
and I’m just gonna pour it in here. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!
Then you’re gonna take your little elastic tie and tie the bag together.
Now’s the fun part! We’re gonna fill our molds!
The first thing that we’re gonna do is put down a layer of chocolate,
so you’re gonna fill it 1/3 full of chocolate. Also, this is where your little
toothpicks come in handy, you can just poke-poke-poke-poke-poke-poke-poke!
Because there’s lots of little designs and crevices, and this will allow the
chocolate to move its way into all those little places.
You’re gonna paint up the sides, and that is so your fillings do not fall out the
sides. You want to completely surround your fillings with chocolate.
Now that we are done filling these molds up, we are gonna put them in the
freezer for 10 minutes to set, and then we’re gonna add our yummy feelings…
Feelings? Fillings!
These chocolates are 3 levels, the first level is chocolate, and then filling,
which we’re doing right now, and then chocolate on the top again.
OK, so let’s fill, first I’m gonna add little peanuts. Try to fill the candy
about 2/3 full. And then I’m gonna add some Twix!
Oooooh! What a yummy surprise! These will be so good!
Last but not least we have our melted caramel, I’ve just put it in a little plastic
bag for more control, and I’m just gonna snip the tip, bewp!
And again, fill it 2/3 full.
Now that we’ve got our candies filled, we are gonna add the 3rd
and final layer of chocolate!
It’s gonna seal up all the yummy treats inside.
Seal the delicious deal!
Lets step, you’re gonna our these in the freezer for 10 minutes again to let them set,
and then they’re ready to serve!
Ta-da!
Here are our Chocolate Classic Controllers that we made today!
