making Frankenstein
In a microwave safe container, add the white chocolate bricks for 1 minute. Once the chocolate begins to melt, add vegetable oil. For 4 bricks, we used 1 tablespoon of oil. This is important to mix in after the chocolate melts a little. I found the food dye turned the smooth chocolate to frosting consistency if I added the oil after melting the chocolate completely and adding the dye.
Once the chocolate is melted, add the green dye. Mix and add more until you get the green color you want.
Take the rectangle and place it into the chocolate and cover the front, top and sides. Place on a wire rack or parchment paper to dry. before it dries, put 2 chocolate chips down the middle for eyes.
While they are drying take 1 brick of chocolate and melt it. Once melted, dip the top of the rectangle at an angel (you want to make hair on the front.)
Take the chocolate sprinkles and add them onto the chocolate for hair.
You can take any extra chocolate to make a mouth using a toothpick or the edge of a spoon.
Set back on the wire rack/parchment paper to dry.

I don’t know…these look suspiciously like Rice Krispy Squares trying to sneak into a Halloween party.
You could definitely use that cereal too. Or cheat and buy the ones already made. But what fun is that? 🙂 These were made for a lot less and are all different sizes because of my mad knife skills.
