Melt chocolate in the microwave, stopping every 30 seconds to stir.
While chocolate is melting, mix together cocoa, sugar, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
Quickly add mixture to melted chocolate, stirring to create a fudge-like consistency.
Fill a piping bag with fudge mixture. Work quickly as the chocolate will harden fast!
Pipe fudge mixture into ice cube trays filled with toppings.
Insert the tip of a disposable wooden spoon into each section.
Place in fridge to cool then pop out of ice cube trays when completely solidified.
FOR PEPPERMINT FLAVOR:
After spoon has been inserted into ice cube tray, sprinkle the top of the chocolate with crushed peppermint sticks.
FOR CARAMEL FLAVOR:
1. Melt salted caramel chips in microwave, stopping every 30 seconds to stir.
2. Fill the bottom 1/3 of the ice cube tray with the melted caramel. Quickly fill the rest of the tray with chocolate so
the ingredients harden together.
FOR DIPPED MARSHMALLOWS:
1. Melt dark chocolate chips in the microwave, stopping every 30 seconds to stir.
2. Insert a peppermint stick or candy cane into the top of a jumbo marshmallow.
3. Dip the bottom of the marshmallows into melted dark chocolate and place on wax paper to dry completely.
