CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY STICKS

Chocolate Raspberry Sticks are made with a delicious jellied raspberry filling dipped in melted chocolate – a favorite holiday candy!

Chocolate Raspberry Sticks are fun to make and are even more delicious than the store-bought variety. We always bought these little treats around the holidays when I was growing up, and it was a favorite holiday tradition.

I never even thought about attempting to make these at home until recently, but several months ago I made some Homemade Chocolate Orange Sticks and they were absolutely amazing!  Ever since then, I’ve been planning on making a raspberry version and I finally got around to it!  The results?  Just as good as the orange variety, and maybe even a little bit better!

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY STICKS

• 2 packets unflavored gelatin (about 1 1/2 Tbsp)
• 6 oz. box raspberry flavored Jello
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup hot water
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/2 tsp raspberry extract
• 12 oz. melting chocolate or chocolate almond bark

1. Soften the gelatin in cold water and set aside.
2. Combine sugar, raspberry Jello and hot water, stir until dissolved.  Bring to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.  Add the gelatin mixture and slowly boil on medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and add the raspberry extract.
3. Pour into well-greased molds. I purchased this mold from Amazon, but I also used two mini loaf pans for the remainder of the mixture and the loaf pans worked just as well as the silicone mold.
4. Let stand over night and then dip into melted chocolate.  I used the Chocoley Milk Chocolate and it was wonderful, but you could also use dark chocolate or even white chocolate to dip in.   Place the chocolate in a glass bowl and microwave for 45 seconds, then stir.  Continue to microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted.  I also drizzled a little white chocolate on top just for fun. Enjoy!
