Chocolate Gummy Snacks

[thermilover]

This recipe is interesting, now need to buy the coconut cream and cacao powder
@Judy, they look soooo cutte, my lo would love them, where did you buy the mould? I am looking for a gummy bear one to make homemade gummies for my LO...

It was so long ago thermilover that I can't remember.  For a while there I was buying a lot online but this one is the same mould https://www.cakesaroundtown.com.au/dinosaur-silicone-chocolate-mould-p-6048.html, I doubt I paid that much though.  Grandson has passed the dinosaur stage now so it was probably a few years ago.

Oh they are gorgeous Judy !

You could try upp-ing the gelatin a bit to make them firmer hence removing easier from the fiddly legs of your moulds. I've made mine with little people moulds and the arms and legs are fine. Perhaps the sheet gelatin is a little different to my powdered one.

Yes I'll add an extra 1/2 a sheet next time Eva.  The ice-cube snacks had to be dipped into boiling water to release so not such a good result.  They're only for me so it doesn't matter, I love the taste of these little things.  Definitely portion  control LOL.

The little dinosaurs looks so cute Judy.  I must make these for when my grandson next visits.  I only have little heart shape moulds but I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

A friend has just offered to give me some of her heart shaped moulds, she has heaps of them!. Thanks Katie.

These sound wonderful, but I think it might be easy to overindulge! I'll save the recipe though, I think my children would adore these.

I saw the word chocolate and snacks in this post and decided I would leave it up to the other moderators to check. I gave in today and these look so lovely. I'm fairly sure I will weaken and make them.

Well I made some this afternoon, I put them into heart, chocolate and christmas tree moulds. I made 33 all up. I will admit that I used a bit of cacao and some cocoa, and the full amount of rapadura. The first bite was strange, they were just ... wrong. Looking at them, we expected a bit of chocolate texture, but soon enough we were over that. My youngest didn't like them, and my husband wasn't a fan. My eldest decided she liked them, but they were a bit too coconutty, and not quite sweet enough. I said we can play around with the ingredients and slightly change it to make it sweeter. I think they'd suit a coffee/latte flavour. I put the details into MyFitnessPal and they were only around 30 calories each, so I happily had two!

Thought I should share the remainder of my batch. We've eaten a few already.

They look good Sarah

Your second batch look good too Judy.Did you take any in for your Mum or Geoff to try?

[judydawn]

No Denise, mine aren't firm enough to travel.  I'll add more gelatin leaf with my next lot but I'm really happy with the taste.

[cookie1]

That's it. I'm going to make them after shopping next week.

Glad you gave them a go spersephone  , yep they are nothing like chocolates. It's one of those recipes to tweak and personalise, my diet is really low in sugar but I can imagine they wouldn't be sweet enough for lots of people. I love the coffee idea!

Let us know how you go cookie!

Glad you found a flavour combo you like Judy

I had an unexpected call to sit the grandkids last night so I took some of these down to see what they thought of them.  GD didn't like them but GS did, they both said they taste like mousse.
