GFCF Halloween Candy

I am officially addicted to home movies! The girls and I have been having so much fun with it! And the Halloween Candy rocks also; I'm off to eat a piece now :-) Cheers my dears!

Ginger & Chocolate Halloween Candy:

Melt 1 bar of dark chocolate over double boiler: I used Chocolove, Ginger Crystallized in Dark Chocolate
Add:
About 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Optional: dash of cayenne
Stir, then add to bowl with:
1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Stir.
Depending on the dark chocolate you buy, you may want to add some honey also. We did not need honey in ours.
Spoon into mini muffin tray. Press down firmly for a nice shape once solidified.
Press chopped crystalized ginger on top.
Refrigerate till solidified.
They pop out easily.
Makes about 7 candies.

Tip: If the mixture cools before you finish pressing it into the molds (mini muffin tray), you can put it back into the double boiler to melt the chocolate again.


Cherry & Chocolate Halloween Candy:

Melt 1 bar of dark chocolate over double boiler: I used Chocolove, Cherries & Almonds in Dark Chocolate
Add:
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/2 cup dried red sour cherries
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Depending on the dark chocolate you buy, you may want to add some honey also. We did not need honey in ours.
Spoon into mini muffin tray. Press down firmly for a nice shape once solidified.
Refrigerate till solidified.
They pop out easily.
Makes about 7 candies.

So cute! I loved the "show." When my kids were little every time we went camping, we had a "show." You will have to bring some of that candy one of these days when you take the Disney trip!
