Chocolate Molds for Christmas
A simple and festive holiday treat, chocolate molds are easy to use and come in so many different options. Perfect for holiday giving and adding to your baking boxes.
I cannot tell you how much I love how easy these molded chocolates are to make! So cute and festive, and absolutely perfect for adding to holiday treat boxes and plates. Best of all, you can easily customize them to your preferences, whether it’s milk or semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate, or a mix. Add sprinkles or crushed peppermint for a pop of color. These darling snowflake chocolates are just the cutest, and since I love all things peppermint, I knew they’d be the perfect combination. I’m looking forward to packing them up with my cookie plates, and also serving at holiday parties or gatherings.
If you’re looking for holiday treat that looks amazing but doesn’t take very long, you’ve come to the right place!

How to make
Please find the full recipe card at the end of the post with the full details, and option to print.
Set out clean and dry chocolate molds on to a cookie sheet that’s been lined with parchment paper.
In a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolates according to the packaged directions. I like using a makeshift double boiler–a glass bowl over a pot that’s big enough for it to rest on top of and leave room for the water below.
For the add-ins to be on top of the chocolates, sprinkle them evenly in the bottom of the molds first (this will be the top after removal). Use a spoon to fill the mold with your desired chocolate. Be careful not to overfill. Use a table knife or scraper to smooth the chocolate. If you want chopped nuts, fruit, or sprinkles inside the chocolates, you’ll need to mix them together first in small bowl before adding to the mold.
I did something different in each cavity mold. I alternated the chocolates, did a chocolate swirl (chocolate and white), layered the chocolates, and changed up the sprinkles and peppermint.
Once you’ve filled all of your molds, place the cookie sheet in the fridge for 15 minutes for the chocolate to harden. The chocolates will slip out easily of the molds, and you’re ready to package.
Storage & Freezing
Store the chocolate bars in an airtight container at room temperature. Low humidity (below 55%) and between 60° and 70° is optimal. Avoid the refrigerator if possible, as it can cause the bars to discolor. They will last up to 12 months if properly stored.
Packaging supplies
- Clear treat bags
- Red striped ribbon
- Pine or other greenery
