Heart – Crayon Shin-Chan Face Chocolates – Simple
Price: ± €7
Extra supplies: Microwave*, Mugs, Spoons, Scissors and Plate. Optional: Toothpick.
*Instead you could melt the chocolate au bain-marie.

Crayon Shin-Chan is a popular character with a lots of candy kits by now. With this kit you create chocolates of Shin-Chan and his friends, on a stick. There are four moulds available with each a mould of Shin-Chan himself and another Crayon Shin-Chan character for on a stick and a separate chocolate mould. In the packaging you’ll also find two sticks and two packs of chocolate.

Flavour: ♥♥
Although the brown chocolate looked like milk chocolate, it did have a bit of a bitter flavour as well. I didn’t dislike it, but if you don’t like dark chocolate you might like it less than regular milk chocolate. The pink chocolate was creamy and had a strawberry flavour to it.

Time needed: ⧗
Everything you need to do will be done in no time, you just have to wait for the chocolate to set.

Difficulty level: ★
This kit has very few steps and is easy to make. As long as you don’t overheat the chocolate it should turn out good. Also make sure to let the chocolate set properly and remove it from the mould carefully.

Similarity: 📷📷📷
As you can see on the pictures below, the final product looks pretty similar to the picture on the packaging. Unless you use different colours of chocolates there is practically no difference between the two. Make sure you leave the chocolate in the fridge long enough, so it’s fully set.

Want to enjoy this kit again?

Clean the mould with warm water, after using it, and let it air dry.

You can refill the mould with chocolate, but you could also put soft candy or fondant in it.

 

 


This is not a sponsored review and because of this we won’t mention where this set was bought, search online using the name of this candy kit and you should be able to find it.
