Easy Chocolate Name Place Cards

Did you see the melt my heart treat I shared last week?  In addition to spelling out a fun message, candy melt letters make whimsical {and totally edible} easy chocolate name place cards!  You can make these to add a little fun to a regular weekday meal or jazz up a party or holiday dinner with labeled seating.  Can you imagine what a hit these would be at the kid’s table at any holiday event?  {Almost as popular as the chocolate bunny place cards I use at Easter!}

easy chocolate name place cards

To make chocolate name place cards, you’ll need silicon letter molds and candy melt in any color or flavor.

You can find candy melt at most large grocery stores or craft stores.  Craft stores will have a better selection of colors and flavors if you’re looking for something special.  If you want to match the color to your table decor, add food coloring.

silicon molds to make letter candies

In a microwave-safe container, melt the candy melt according to package instructions.  I usually put it in the microwave at thirty second intervals, stirring in between.  That seems to melt it well without hardening it but all microwaves will vary somewhat.

Once melted, add food coloring, if desired, spoon or pour the candy melt into the silicon molds, and tap the molds to release any air bubbles. 

You may also want to use a knife to scrape off any excess chocolate on the top.  This will make the finished product look better.

Place the mold in the fridge or freezer to speed up the hardening of the chocolate.  It will usually take about 5-10 minutes in the freezer.

Continue to repeat these steps until you have all the letters you need for each place setting.
