Apricot Goldfish
- Total Time15 minutes
- Yield12-15 2-inch goldfish 1x
The cutest chocolate goldfish made with dried apricots, piped orange chocolate, and candy eyeballs.
Ingredients
165 grams orange candy melts or tempered white chocolate tinted with orange oil-based food coloring (1 cup)
12-15 dried apricots
Candy eyeballs, to decorate
Instructions
Line a quarter sheet rimmed baking tray with a silicone baking mat.
Melt the candy melts over a bain marie or double boiler, or in a microwave-safe dish. Scoop melted chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a 3/16-inch round piping tip.*
Working one at a time, pipe a 1-inch circle on the silicone mat. Add a v-shape on one side for a “tail” and smaller, sloped triangles on the top and bottom for “fins.”
Press a dried apricot slice in the middle. Pipe a dot of melted chocolate on the top of the apricot, then press a candy eyeball on top.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Set aside and allow to cool at room temperature until chocolate sets.
Layer apricot goldfish between sheets of parchment. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
*If candy melts feel too thick to pipe, add 1-2 teaspoons vegetable oil or canola oil to make the chocolate more fluid.
