Everything looks great, but might I offer a couple tips from a professional candy maker? If your chocolates are a bit too thick it is best to use paramount crystals, or shortening. The reason being, paramount crystals and shortening get hard when cooled like chocolates, so they don't effect the texture of the hardened chocolate. However, the veggie oil will effect how solid the chocolate gets when cooled. So if too much oil is added to the chocolate it may not become solid and/or it may melt too easily when touched and smear in the bag. Also, unless you like your chocolate to taste like olives, I suggest you don't use olive oil for the same issues mentioned. Merry Christmas all! Take care, Dee😊👍🎄

These are the types of gifts I wish others would gift me. Love it!

I made this recipe with crushed peppermint on top. Delicious.

Well it might be five years later but my guess is that these are timeless classics. Im going to give them a try. Thanks for posting this video. You are very pleasant to listen to.

The bark looks amazing and so festive. Very good ideas!

Thank You and I love these Creative Ideas. I would like to try these some day.

With the hot chocolate jar, it would be cute and maybe neater to make the paper heart into a card that opens up with the direction inside.

Wanted to share, some I added toasted almonds slivered and coconut looked like snow! some friends dont care for cranberries I substituted with raisins so many variations. Did some white chocolate first then topped with dark! Tip ran out of parchment paper, so I used plastic wrap, worked great with no need to grease either. Awesome family cooking project, with the grandkids and hubby even joined in the fun! LOL Happy Holidays!

Very Clever and Very Cute.

Try rosting the hazelnuts. Put Them om a bakingtray in a hot oven. When the skin starts tog crack. Take Them out and dump Them on a kitchen towel on the counter. Rub them with the towel while hot tog get the loose skin off. They taste amazing in choclates. Thank you for the video. From Sweden

I would try chopping the hazelnuts up a bit...love the combo!!

All of these recipes are great. My favorite is the bark. It is so very pretty! And as they say, you eat with your eyes first!!

Mmmm everything looks soooo delish !!!

I can’t wait to make the bark. Looks yummy. 😋

Love all 3 of these. Thank you

Hi! I see your video is from 2014. Well thank you from 2019! I don't have an oven to bake treats so these are something I can do! Thanks very much. 😂

For the hot chocolate thingy put in a bagy or plastic wrap with the toppings then put it inside

They all look amazing can’t wait to make them with my grandson thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

I’m definitely making these for our church bazaar. Thanks!

Great treats.

Absolutely love this👏🎄🎅

Love it Love it so much

You also can use coconut oil, instead of Crisco, invert a box with holes in it and stick your pops in the holes

Love these ideas! My 5 year old and I plan on trying the mint Oreo pops!

They look delicious, and easy to make.☺️❤

Good stuff! One thing though - use the word “affect” In your description. Hot choc. And milk - yum!

THAT WAS AN OUTSTANDING TUTORIAL!!

Thanks for sharing 👍👍🎄🎄🎄⛄️

Do u just tip rhe whole hot choc jar in a cup? Or do u have to separate it all. Its something I've always wondered

What size pan do you use for the bark? Looks like 9x9?

What can I substitute the crisco with? Love your video. I will be making my oreo pops tomorrow 👍🏾😁

Can butter be substituted for Crisco?

Yummy delicious love chocolate

TFS 💜

Just an FYI, that's cedar, not pine. I like the cedar so much better, it has a pretty, lacy look...! Good job! :-D

❤️❤️🥰

all 3 are great easy recipes...especially looking forward to making that bark...thank you very much for sharing them..:)

Can I use walnuts instead of Hazelnuts

YEAHHHHH

How many ounces are those jars?

I have to say that everything Looks Soo Yummy lol 😋😀 my tummy is getting hungry but I was just wondering instead of any oil or crisco Can a person use unsalted butter instead or if anyone can help me with that I would greatly appreciate KP the great job up 😊👍 and I hope 🕊that everyone has a wonderful day🌤🌞🍃🌺🍃🌺🍃🌺 and God bless❄🕊😇 Merry Christmas🎅

Subscribed !!! ❤️❤️❤️

can u link them sprinkles u got😁😁😁😂😂

Where did you buy the metalic sugar crystals?

I really ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 nice job

Wow 😍💜👍💚▶️ 3

Cool . Tnx

Good idea but how do you get to the mix without having to pour it all out.. To much of a hassle

💖💖😋😋

Does the chocolate tend to sweat when you remove them from the fridge???

Hi can I use popsicle sticks, cant find the others in my local stores? thanks cant wait to make these! Happy Holidays

What does the crisco do for the pops

Tfs🎄

Where did you get the plastic bags for the oreo pop?

Nicely done, your voice is great.

Did you buy the Williams & Bennett sprinkles online?

SWEEEEEEEET

Cheers sweet dreams god love you you

I'd like to know what kind of chocolate you are using that does not need to be tampered. Other wise when your treats come back to room temp the chocolate will be come a melted sloppy mess.

Very nice, but that wasn't a pine sprig, but cedar... arborvitae to be exact.

Wait, how are they MINT chocolate pops?

The original Oreo stuffing didn't split, it was much softer. They've changed it somehow.

don't these hazel nuts have hard shell? or guess they are edible the way they are?

i really miss when youtube used to be like this

Im making these for the homeless kids:)

Peanut butter balls

I don't care for white chocolate ( which , is not actually a " chocolate ' at all) so having a substitute for that would have been nice.

all this hot choc needed was a Better tag
