Chocolate Covered Cinnamon Bears
Gooey cinnamon bears covered in smooth and creamy chocolate.
Servings:8 servings
Ingredients
- cinnamon bears , (available in many grocery stores in the candy aisle, also found in bulk)
- 1 cup almond bark*, (see note)
- toothpicks
- aluminum foil or parchment paper
Instructions
- Chop almond bark into 1-2 inch pieces. Place in a heat-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir and return to microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Stick a toothpick into a cinnamon bear, dip into chocolate, turning to completely cover the cinnamon bear. Shake off excess chocolate. Place bear on a parchment or foil lined baking sheet OR poke the toothpick into a foil-covered floral foam block so that the bear is standing upright. (This is what I like to do so that the bears do not have a flat edge on the back, it is purely for looks and completely optional).
- Allow bears to cool completely (about 15-20 mins). Sore in airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
*The amounts for the cinnamon bears and the almond bark are not listed because this recipe is flexible so that you can make as many or as few bears as you will like. As a general rule of thumb, you will need about 6 ounces of almond bark for about 2 cups of cinnamon bears.
