I highly recommend using the Ghirardelli brand for the dark chocolate. I have tried a lesser brand as well as melting chocolate from a bulk bin store, and both resulted in streaky chocolate frogs because of the higher wax and shortening content in them. Jelly belly frogs: A really fun twist is to add a single jelly belly in the center of each frog before the chocolate dries. It’s a yummy surprise when you bite into the middle of each delicious treat.

You can also melt chocolate in a double boiler. Read here for How to Melt Chocolate in a Double Boiler. For this recipe, we are going to do a 2-to-1 ratio of dark chocolate to milk chocolate. Dark chocolate on its own is too brittle and hard. Milk chocolate on its own is too soft and melty.

GET CREATIVE: Create goodies for parties such as birthdays and baby showers or delicious wedding favors. Make candies for holidays such a Valentines Days or Christmas. Unleash your inner artist and use the molds to make custom soaps, bath bombs or wax melts. Pop out the completely set up and solid chocolate frogs from the molds and place a frog in each box. My preferred method of melting chocolate is in a Wilton Melting Pot, but you can melt your chocolate in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl as well. Chocolate Chips - Use a name-brand milk chocolate chip. Off-brands or bargain brands use wax and other fillers in them, causing the chocolate to streak and not set up well.

Melt the dark chocolate and the milk chocolate together until completely smooth using the melting method of your choice. You can chill and store them in the fridge, but be aware that the chocolate will change colors and look streaky. If you have used quality chocolate, the streaks will disappear when the frogs return to room temperature. If you have used cheap or lesser-quality chocolate, the streaks may remain.Crispy frogs: You can mix in about 1/4 cup of crisped rice cereal if you want your frogs on the crispy side.
