Chocolate Chicken for Max and Ruby

When my children were just beginning to listen to stories I ran across the Max and Ruby stories. This cute little board books are not only appealing to babies and toddlers but continue to be interesting to children through preschool up to at least second grade. Max and his sister Ruby are bunnies are young bunnies. In the Story of Max's Chocolate Chicken, Max and Ruby are hunting for Easter eggs when Max discovers a Chocolate Chicken.

My children thought that that was a delightful idea so when Easter came around they wanted their own Chocolate Chicken. I am amazed to find that they still don't seem to be available commercially but I did discover molds for making your own.

Delight your children this year by helping them make their own Chocolate Chickens...

How to Mold Chocolate

How to Mold your Chocolate Chicken

Molding a Chocolate Chicken is fairly easy if you follow these simple steps.
  1. Purchase either a block of chocolate or in a package of small disks of chocolate.
  2. Obtain a chicken mold.
  3. To temper the chocolate, melt it over a double boiler.
  4. Heat dark chocolate to 113 degrees Farenheit and cool to 88 degrees F. For milk chocolate, heat to 113 degrees F and cool to 82 degrees F.
  5. Pour melted chocolate into your chicken mold and roll the mold around until it has a thin even coating of chocolate.
  6. Put your Chicken mold in the freezer for 5 to 7 minutes.
  7. Take the mold out of the freezer and add another layer. You will probably need at least 7 layers.
  8. Your Chocolate Chicken should come out easily. If necessary you can tap the mold firmly against a counter.

    When I was a child, I bought my mom a chocolate chicken for Easter and a chocolate fish for my dad.

    They did have them in a store in my little French-Canadian town. I'm surprised that you can't find them anymore.

    The chocolate chicken is a great addition to our Easter tradition. My children will definitely be delighted.

    Very cute. I love Max & Ruby!

    Well done, I must say I am more a fan of chocolate eggs than chocolate chicken or bunnies. I hate myself for biting into anything with a face on it. Thanks for the lens.

    I know exactly how you feel but my kids were thrilled to make Chocolate Chickens as I am sure that most children who read the story would be.

    Chocolate bunnies do not last long in this house. =) I'd love to try to make one at home, maybe this year I could get a proper mould and do it. Lovely lens!

    What a great idea, my daughter didn't read that book so I never had to make chocolate chickens, but she does want to make a chocolate bilby (rabbits aren't allowed in Queensland, Australia so the bilby delivers our eggs) and finding a bilby mold isn't very easy!
  • Evelyn_Saenz Mar 16, 2010 @ 8:02 pm | delete
    I actually just checked online and found a site in Australia that sells Chocolate Bilby Molds called Choc Art. I had never heard of Chocolate Bilbies before. They are adorable.
