Proposal Engagement 3D Chocolate Box





Today I'm going to walk you through the steps of making your very own 3D Chocolate box.
Super easy, super fun, super YUMMY!

Give it to your valentine, your love, or your kids for valentines day! Don't bother buying tons of chocolate or candies and DIY your valentines.

For this you will need:
  •  3D chocolate box mold, unless you're really good at making molds out of your bare hands...you will need a mold.  Sold by City Chocolates HERE: 3D CHOCOLATE MOLD

  • Either regular chocolate confectionary coatings found at Walmart or Wilton sells bags as well. I used a Walmart brand.  The contrasting bow color I used Melt and Fill Red Tube: Found Here: Melt & FILL  (These are super easy to use and you just squeeze it into the mold. Great for accents, font for cakes, decorations for cakes)

  • You could also use Candy Writers, these have less chocolate but they work as well for 2 different colors in your mold. Found HERE: Candy Writers

  • I used a chocolate melter in red above but you could also just melt your chocolate in the microwave, or temper your homemade chocolate. Either way it's all yummy, but the melter in the tube is so much easier for these types of molds with a bow accent.

  • Also for the Melt & Fill I used the CK Decorative tips, which made it easier to squeeze into the mold. FOUND HERE : Decorative Tips  (I'm pretty sure you could use the tips you get from Walmart as well, but these are high quality)
LETS GET STARTED!





 First: You will fill in the red color into the bow and tap to set your chocolate in the mold.  Then with your other chocolate after it's melted or microwaved fill the box part. Try not to over fill this part it will be hard to get out without coaxing. Then refrigerate about 5-10 minutes.

You just want to refrigerate long enough for the red bow to harden. The box can take longer once you fill the chocolate on the top part of the box.

After the 5-10 minutes of refrigeration you can fill the top part of the box. Here I put too much chocolate and had to scrape off the excess. It still came out great and was easy to scrape. 

Refrigerate another 10-15 minutes to ensure the entire box is firm. 
And release each side. 
I did use a butter knife for the bottom part of the box because I overfilled but it came out.
