December 16 - Chocolate Covered Anything Day

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Frozen Olaf Chocolate Covered Caramel Pears
Categories: Fruits, Chocolate
     Yield: 8 servings

     8    Pears
     8    Sticks
     1 lb Caramel
    10 oz White chocolate
          Grey gel food dye
     2 oz Orange fondant
    16    Candy eyes
          Piping bag

 Start by washing all the pears, then sticking them with
 caramel apples sticks. (Try not to let them slit, if
 they do the caramel won't stick well, in fact it will
 keep oozing under the caramel and chocolate and cause
 problems later)

 Then melt about 8-10 oz of caramel and dip your clean
 and dry pear into the caramel.

 Give it a good swirl, making sure it's all covered, then
 let it drip a bit.

 Once the largest drips are gone scrap the bottom off.

 Hold it upside down to let it set a bit, then place it
 on parchment paper.

 Do this with all your pears and let cool (Refrigerate
 for a little bit to hold their shape better).

 Do the same thing with the melted white chocolate and
 you can see the head already taking shape!

 Let the pears rest however they wanted, since trying
 to get them all upright is a bit of a struggle.

 Roll out a bunch of fondant noses in your palm to create
 the carrot shape.

 Use some of the melted white chocolate to connect the
 noses to the pears.

 Then add some black gel food dye to turn the chocolate
 grey.

 Then attach the candy eyes with the grey chocolate.

 Pipe the grey chocolate on as the mouth and eyebrows.
