Holiday Chocolate Crisp Suckers

The holidays are definitely the time for chocolate and what's better than crispy chocolate on a stick.  Here's an easy recipe for making chocolates that will make you think you're eating a Nestle crisp candy bar.

• 8-12 oz Dipping chocolate (chopped) Note: baking chocolate can also be used.
• 1/2 - 1 cup of natural or organic rice crisp cereal (partially crushed)
• sucker sticks
• sucker molds

If you are making suckers, wash and dry your chocolate or hard candy molds. Place sucker sticks in the molds. If you are using a double boiler, you can start melting the chocolate while you prepare the molds. However, if you are melting the chocolate directly in a pan, be sure to monitor and stir the chocolate constantly in order to avoid burning.

Melt chocolate on low heat. If using a double boiler, be sure to avoid boiling the water since steam will make the chocolate clump. Once the chocolate is completely melted, stir in the crushed rice crisp cereal. Add enough cereal so that the mixture is still liquid and not clumpy.

Spoon the chocolate mixture into the molds and tap the molds so that air bubbles do not remain. Freeze each mold tray for five minutes or until the chocolate is frozen. Remove and pop chocolate suckers out of the molds.

Decorating: Wrap the suckers in foil wrappers. If you do not have wrappers with Christmas decorations, use red, green, gold or silver single colored wrappers and then put a cute Christmas sticker on the front of the sucker.
