Stuffed Chocolate Turkey
Project

By Bob Sherman

This mold was so unique I had to add it to our line, but what to actually use it for took some thought. It is not well suited for hollow molding, and a solid molded chocolate this thick seems impractical. I had to come up with a way to turn this into a great dessert centerpiece and this article is the result. I simply used the mold to create a shell for some very unique rice crisp treats. If desired other fillings will work equally well.

Many of the items you may need can be ordered directly from this page for your convenience.

PLEASE NOTE!! - Although chocolate making is relatively safe for the entire family to participate, adult supervision is required.

Chocolate
I prefer to use chocolate coating wafers designed for molding chocolate. My preferred brand is Merckens which works well with all chocolate molding projects, is available in a wide selection of colors, and tastes great.

Melting Chocolate
Either melting method may be used, but I find the double boiler works best for this.

Double Boiler - See Double Boiler Usage Instructions.

A microwave may also be used but care must be taken not to overheat the chocolate.

1. Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.
2. Heat for 30 seconds.
3. Remove and stir.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the chocolate is creamy.
5. Optimum usage temperature is about 90 degrees F. Do not place the thermometer in the microwave!
