chocolate peanut butter gingerbread men

Using festive silicone molds to create delicious chocolates and barks is one of my favorite ways to spread holiday cheer each year.

I have a silicone mold addiction. I have about six different snowflake shaped molds alone and we won’t even get started on all of the other holidays. So it’s no surprise that the strategically placed Gingerbread Men mold at the Sur la Table checkout counter just had to come home with me. There was no way I could say no to their sweet faces.

Silicone molds are great for making cute chocolates in bulk. Their intricate cavities allow you to mold festive sweets with minimal decorating effort. Once the chocolate is set, the chocolates are easy to un-mold and package for gifting. A cellophane bag and some coordinating curly ribbon complete the package perfectly.

My usual peppermint bark recipe just didn’t seem to fit the personalities of these little guys so I decided to go with a chocolate and peanut butter combination. I mean, who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter? The contrast of the dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter tastes just as good as it looks. They turned out absolutely darling if you ask me!
