Now the first step is to Place the Cowboy Hat cookie cutters on parchment paper as flat as you can get them. This is important so that the chocolate does not leak out from under your Cowboy Hat cookie cutters. If the chocolate does leak out those you can let it dry, pop it back off the parchment paper, then melt it again and start over. Chocolate is easy to work with since you can re melt it and try again! You don’t have to waste any materials at all.
Now, melt your chocolate over a double boiler. Simply boil some water in one pot and then place another pot on top. Use a Wisk to continual stir the chocolate until it melts into a nice, smooth, and glossy liquid.
Next, Pour melted chocolate into the Cowboy Hat cookie cutters. Do about 6 chocolates at a time. You will need to work quickly.
Now you need to add your candle, sprinkles, M&M;’s, dried fruit, marshmallows, or coconut. You can put in anything you would like to add like nuts, coconut, M&Ms;, marshmallows, sprinkles, dried pineapple, etc.
You could also letter your chocolate harden a little and put one almond in the middle of each Cowboy Hat.
Now, repeat this same method filling up the rest for your Cowboy Hat cookie cutters. I like to make sure I place as many cookie cutters on the sheet pan as possible. You can also use either metal or plastic Cowboy Hat cookie cutters for this chocolate wedding favor craft project.
To speed up the cooling process put into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This is optional though. If you want you can simply let the chocolate sit out at room temperature for a while. Do not put the chocolate in the freezer though.
Once the Cowboy Hat chocolate hardens cut off any extra chocolate that may have leaked out the bottom. Use a paring knife that is really sharp to do this. A paring knife will give you the most control.
Then tap the Cowboy Hat shaped chocolate out of the cookie cutter mold.
