How to Make Breakable Candy Mummies
Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 3
Ingredients:
- 1 ⅓ c white candy melts, divided
- Silicone half sphere mold
- Small spoon
- ⅓ c Skittles candies
- 9 gummy worms
- 1 small heat safe plate
- Kitchen shears
- Sandwich size food storage bag
- Large candy eyeballs
- Small wooden mallet
Directions:
- Heat 1 c of candy melts in a medium glass bowl in the microwave for 1 minute at 50% power. Stir well, and continue heating in 30 second intervals until the candies are fully melted and smooth/creamy.
- Place the silicone mold on a flat tray or baking sheet, and spoon approximately a tbsp of the melted candy into the molds. Coat the inside of the mold with the back of a spoon. Make sure to make the edges a little thicker, so that they don’t break when melding together. If the candy is pooled at the bottom, spread again to evenly coat all sides, or your sphere will be less circular, and more flat on the bottoms from the pooled candy. Place in the refrigerator for 3-5 minutes to set.
- Once set, pull the sides gently away from the candy sphere, and push up from the bottom to release the candy.
- Set on a plate or tray, and fill 3 of the candy halves with about a tablespoon or more of skittles, and top with 3 gummy worms.
- Place a small heat safe plate in the microwave, and heat for approximately 20 seconds. Place one of the empty candy halves open side down on the plate, and twist slightly to melt the edges. Immediately place onto one of the candy fill halves, and twist again slightly to close. If you have any gaps, you can heat a spoon in warm water, and then rub across the seams to slightly melt together, or you can rub with your finger. Repeat this process until you have 3 filled candy spheres.
- Next, melt the remaining ⅓ c of white candy the same as you did in step 1.
- Drape a sandwich bag over your hand, and fill with the melted candy. Snip the corner with kitchen shears, and add a tiny dot to the back of each candy eyeball, and place 2 eyes on each sphere.
- Begin piping lines back and forth, and up and down in random patterns over the sphere to look like a mummy.
- Allow to set for another 3-5 minutes.
