Geeky Valentine’s Day Chocolates

Make your own Geeky Valentine's Day Chocolates using rubber molds and melting chocolate!

Valentine’s Day is coming up and I’ve been wanting to make something to give to my family and friends that would be both delicious and Geeky. One of the things I find most delicious in this world is Chocolate so I thought making Geeky Valentine’s Day Chocolates would be a great expression of my love for Chocolate and Geeky things, while sharing them with those I love most.

So first off I needed to gather supplies.

I went with some great Star Wars and Avengers molds. You can buy all 8 of the Star Wars Molds in a bundle at this link here or you can get them individually (links below image).

Avengers Mold

Since I had the molds I now needed to gather together some additional tools.

I gathered together:

  • A glass bowl (I had two because I used two different kinds of chocolate)
  • Plastic quart sized ziplock baggies
  • Scissors
  • Spoon

And last but not least:

  • Chocolate

I got my chocolate from Gygi’s where they have a lot of different kinds of chocolate as well as they come in all different colors! But really you can use any type of melting chocolate for this project.

Instructions:

  1. You want to first make sure your molds are clean and dry. Our Avengers mold unfortunately still had some water in it which definitely made a difference in the end product. The chocolate still tastes good but the overall appearance is a bit different and less satisfying.
  2. Pour some of the chocolate in the glass bowl. I didn’t measure it out but just poured until I felt like it was a good amount. It was pretty easy to determine the amount I’d need but if you’d like you could start with measuring about 2 or 3 cups to start with.
  3. Sean was surprised when I said we’d be using the microwave. He thought we’d heat it on the stove. It’s actually super easy to do it in the microwave. You’ll microwave it on half power for 1 minute, give it a stir, then another minute on half power until it’s melted down. You want to make sure you check how to do half power on your microwave. Doing it on full power can burn the chocolate.
  4. Once you’ve got your chocolate melted down, you’ll want to pour or spoon it into the plastic baggie. We found it was easiest to have one person hold the bag open while the other one poured it in.
  5. You’ll then want to cut the corner off. Be care not to make the cut too big. The chocolate will start pouring out immediately so it’s best to do it over a napkin or plate then quickly tip it up. Or you can cut it while having the baggie tipped up too.
  6. Slowly use the baggie to pour the chocolate into the molds. We found it easiest to just hold it in the middl and let the chocolate fill in the crevices. On molds like R2-D2 though, putting a little in the feet of the mold and then moving to the center worked a little better. You’ll want to also be careful to not let the chocolate overflow or you’ll have extra edges on the chocolate when you take them out. It’s a bit easier said than done though as we had a lot of overflowing happen!
  7. Once your mold is filled with chocolate, put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. We used our cutting board to put the molds on so they were level and easier to take out.
  8. Pull the molds out of the freezer.
  9. Turn them upside down and carefully push them out. The great thing about silicone is it’s very forgiving when pushing the chocolate out. Some molds are easier than others to get the chocolate out of. The Avengers mold was the hardest and I broke R2’s foot on the one perfect one that I poured and I was a little sad.
  10. If you need to clean up any of the pieces, use a knife or something else sharp to carefully remove any excess chocolate (and then eat those pieces!)
  11. Eat the chocolate (or wrap it up to send to your loved ones).

Now of course I’m not going to leave you hanging so I took some pictures of the chocolates we made (Except for the X-Wing…that got gobbled up!)

Millenium Falcon

A couple of the Stormtroopers and a Millenium Falcon was already gifted to my Grandma who only eats white chocolate. She was very excited, even though she’s *gasp* not a Star Wars fan! So for your reference, people will still be excited to get these for Valentine’s Day, even if they aren’t Geeks too!

While I have a lot of big feelings today, I felt the need to share this love in hopes people know they’re not alone and even when we disagree, I love you and care about you.

I still look freaking exhausted (I didn’t realiz I still look freaking exhausted (I didn’t realize till seeing these pictures) but I’m so thankful that I’m out of quarantine and was able to go out for a little bit (masked) after we all had Covid. 

I told Sean “I’m going to Costco masked to get more masks” (I needed them for work). Of course I stopped by @starbucks after for my special drink (strawberry açaí refresher with heavy cream, peach juice, and honey). Oh it had been so long I was so happy! 

It felt good to get out just for a little bit after being stir crazy. And finally got to wear my Dr Ellie inspired outfit from @heruniverse Hopefully I get to see the movie soon!

Just a little something from a few weeks ago. Woul Just a little something from a few weeks ago. Would you believe me if I told you I built that bench I’m sitting on? Yup! Before knowing I had adhd, I hyper focused on woodworking. I love it but haven’t finished the course… 😬 I should’ve known I had adhd when a friend of mine mentioned (after another hobby hyperfocus) that I’m so great in learning all these new skills! I replied that I was great at starting but not finishing. Well…now I know why! 😹 Knowing my diagnoses doesn’t make life all of a sudden easier but it does help me feel a bit more grace for myself, and know I can move forward and get past my hurdles. #adhdwomen #adhdawareness #adhdproblems #lateadhddiagnosis #adhdadult #adhdlife #hyperfocus #dopamine #chasingdopamine #adhdbrain
