FOUND | Spinning Leaf - Cookie Molds

Tuesday, September 25

I'm super excited to share with you some awesomeness today.
If you like getting creative in the kitchen...
then you are going to love Spinning Leaf...
a fabulous company specializing in the designing and manufacturing of Chocolate Molds and
Culinary Stencils.

I discovered Spinning Leaf about a month ago...
when searching for some fun ideas for crafting in the kitchen.
I fell in love with their assortment of cookie and chocolate molds.
I can't say enough how head-over-heels I am with the high level of quality put into producing these products.
They are awesome to work with.
Take a peek at what I created over the weekend...



RIDICULOUSLY CUTE CHOCOLATE-COVERED OREOS
(and mini chocolate covered peanut butter Ritz crackers)


Start with your choice of adorable Spinning Leaf cookie molds
 Spinning Leaf Sandwich Cookie Molds: Ghosts, Skulls and Spiders 


Let's start with
BEGINNER LEVEL • BASIC ROUND COOKIES
CHOCOLATE COVERED MINI RITZ PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS
Melt your choice of chocolate and fill mold cavities approximately 1/3 full

TAP AND ADD
Tap the chocolate-filled mold on your work surface to remove air bubbles and to help the chocolate settle.
Add one mini ritz cracker to each cavity and press gently until the chocolate begins to peek over the top of the crackers.
Don't push too hard - you don't want the cracker visible from the top on the finished treat.

COVER AND TAP
Cover the ritz crackers with additional melted chocolate.
Tap lightly to remove air bubbles and for a smooth finish.

HARDEN AND RELEASE
Allow chocolate to harden in the mold.
Refrigerate hardened chocolates in the molds for a little under 10 minutes.
Turn the molds upside-down and press gently for the chocolates to pop out.



INTERMEDIATE LEVEL • GHOST-THEMED
CHOCOLATE COVERED OREOS
Start by filling the eye and mouth cavities of the cookie mold with black melted chocolate. 
Using a small paint brush for these chocolate details works perfectly. Tap molds on work surface to smooth chocolate.

SECOND LAYER OF CHOCOLATE
Once the eye and mouth cavities have cooled and hardened...
fill the cavities 1/3 full with COOLED melted white chocolate.
This will prevent the two chocolate colors from mixing/melting into one another

ADD OREO COOKIE AND TOP OFF
Tap the chocolate-filled mold on your work surface to remove air bubbles and to help the chocolate settle.
Add one Double Stuff Oreo Cookie to each cavity.
 Press gently until the chocolate begins to peek over the top of the cookies.
Don't push too hard - you don't want the cookies visible from the top on the finished treat.

COVER AND TAP
Cover the Oreo Cookies with additional melted chocolate.
Tap lightly to remove air bubbles and for a smooth finish.

HARDEN AND RELEASE
Allow chocolate to harden in the mold.
Refrigerate hardened chocolates in the molds for a little under 10 minutes.
Turn the molds upside-down and press gently for the chocolates to pop out.





ADVANCED LEVEL • SPIDER-THEMED
CHOCOLATE COVERED OREOS
Start by filling the spider details of the cavities of the cookie mold with black melted chocolate. 
Using an extra tiny paint brush for these chocolate details works perfectly. Tap molds on work surface to smooth chocolate. 






IMPERFECTION
Although only ONE spider turned out "perfect"
I actually like the aged/textured look of the "imperfect" spiders.
I think it makes them look even more creepy...

Fun...right?
Are you itching to get your hands on some of these incredibly fun cookie molds?

KEEPiNG iT REAL
I do NOT recommend the spider mold if you are a novice. 
It was SUPER hard and time-consuming.
It took me 15 minutes per spider cavity - just to paint the chocolate spider details.
It takes tremendous patience and focus.

But guess what's so awesome...
The folks at Spinning Leaf actually warned me of the "expertise level"...
prior to shipping the molds out. 
Just one more thing to love about the company...
their honesty.

I love the heart mold, all the halloween molds (bat, spider, and my fav: candy corn), and the snowflakes!

I wish they had non-scary pumpkins. The jack-0-lanterns are cute but not so much for my kindergartner's classroom.

I love the ghost and large round mold! So cute for school Halloween parties!

Nedra said...

I think these are absolutely amazing, and have wondered for so long how to get such perfectly shaped chocolate on the cookies. Had a DUH moment as I read through the post.

I LOVE the 4 leaf clover mold, and also the Party Stars Sandwich Cookie Stencil (I love stars!!)

Thank you Pen N' Paperflowers for sharing your talent with us. I agree with you that the molds of Spinning Leaf are awesome. My favorite mold would be the Teacher Appreciation Sandwich Cookie Mold. I am a Kindergarten Teacher and would love to give darling cookies to my fellow Teachers as a thank you gift. I give the Teacher Appreciation Sandwich Cookie Mold an A+. Thank you for the giveaway.
