❄️ White Chocolate Snowflakes
These White Chocolate Snowflakes are delicate, melt-in-your-mouth treats made with just a few ingredients. Molded into beautiful snowflake shapes, they’re ideal for holiday parties, cookie platters, or as a charming garnish for cakes and cupcakes.
Equipment
- Silicone snowflake mold or snowflake-shaped candy molds
- Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
- Spoon or piping bag
- Sheet pan (for stability under mold)
- Refrigerator or freezer
Ingredients
- 1 cup 6 oz / 170g high-quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- Optional: ½ teaspoon coconut oil or shortening for smoother melting
- Optional: Sprinkles sanding sugar, edible glitter, or crushed peppermint for garnish
Instructions
Melt the White Chocolate
- Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- (Optional: Add coconut oil to help with smoothness and unmolding.)
- Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over low heat.
Add Decorative Touches
- Sprinkle decorations (like glitter or crushed peppermint) into the bottoms of the snowflake molds if desired.
Fill the Molds
- Spoon or pipe the melted chocolate into the molds, tapping gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Smooth the tops with a spatula if needed.
Chill
- Place the filled mold on a baking sheet for stability and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until completely set.
Unmold & Serve
- Gently pop snowflakes out of the molds. Handle with care—they’re delicate!
Notes
💡 Tips for Success
Use high-quality real white chocolate (with cocoa butter, not just “white chips”) for best flavor and texture Silicone molds work best for easy release Clean, dry molds are essential—moisture can cause chocolate to seize
