Tinted White Chocolate Bunnies Food

TINTED WHITE-CHOCOLATE BUNNIES

Steps:

• Chop 3 pounds chocolate with a serrated knife. Place chopped chocolate in a dry metal bowl. Cut another pound of chocolate into larger chunks, and set aside.
• In a saucepan, bring 1 to 2 inches water to a simmer. Set bowl of chocolate over saucepan, being careful not to let the water touch the bottom of bowl. Let chocolate melt, stirring gently with a rubber spatula, until it reaches 115 to 118 degrees on a chocolate thermometer (do not let thermometer touch bottom of bowl, and do not let any water get in melted chocolate). Turn off heat, and remove bowl from saucepan.
• Add reserved chocolate pieces; stir until mixture cools to 78 or 79 degrees; remove any unmelted pieces. Place bowl back over pan of warm water (do not turn heat back on); stir until thermometer reaches 86 to 88 degrees. Immediately stir in food coloring until desired color is achieved; oil-based food coloring will give the best result.
• Clamp molds tightly; pour chocolate into molds, and let set at room temperature until completely hardened, about 4 hours. Molds can be positioned upside down in saucepans, with rolled-up kitchen towels to hold them in place, while the chocolate sets.

WHITE CHOCOLATE BLONDIE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Melt the butter and white chocolate together over low heat in a saucepan. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly. Meanwhile beat eggs with sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl; mix in the butter mixture, and stir in the flour and salt until thoroughly combined. Scoop the batter into the prepared baking pan; sprinkle with white chocolate chips.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before cutting into bars.
