How to Make Candy Poker Chips

Purchase multiple colors of candy foil to create different poker chips.

Texas Hold 'Em and other poker games become more entertaining when played with a stash of food nearby. Alongside a bowl of chips and dip, a bowl of candy poker chips adds a festive flair to your poker party. Candy poker chips are easily made with any type of chocolate. Once you create your poker candies, set them out near your poker table for guests to enjoy.

Things You'll Need

• Chocolate bars
• SIlicone baking sheet
• Candy foil
• Sticker paper

Instructions

1. Heat two cups of water in a pot until boiling. Lower the heat to a simmer. Break up a chocolate bar into smaller squares, place it in metal bowl and put it over the pot.

2. Stir the chocolate as it melts slowly for about two to three minutes. Once melted to a creamy consistency, remove from heat.

3. Place a quarter-sized amount of chocolate on a silicone baking sheet, working quickly before the chocolate begins to solidify. Space the "quarters" out evenly in rows along the baking sheet.

4. Stretch plastic wrap over the top of the baking sheet to cover all the chocolate quarters.

5. Press a flat pan lightly on top of the plastic wrap to flatten the chocolate quarters.

6. Place the sheet in the fridge to cool. Remove the chocolate quarters from the fridge once cool. Peel off the plastic wrap.

7. Wrap each chocolate quarter in a small amount of colored candy foil. Create a poker chip sticker with markers on sticker paper or purchase poker chip stickers. Place the stickers on either side of the foil-wrapped chocolate quarter.
