When I contacted Glee Gum to inquire about reviewing their candy kits on my blog, I had no idea how close they are to me- right next door, in Rhode Island!!  I decided that since my kids are pretty young that gum might not be the best choice for me to review, so I opted to try a Make Your Own Chocolate Kit.  

I wanted to wait until a rainy day struck to make this but since we’ve just had a 3+week bout with no rain, I pulled the candy kit out one super muggy afternoon.  The kids were, well, downright Glee-ful.  (I know, I know.  Baaaaaad joke!)  Anyway, the box says this is for ages 8+ and I can totally see why- the bowl gets super hot when you melt the cocoa butter.  However, we are used to modifying recipes in our house so that the kiddos can help so they broke up the cocoa butter, put it into the bowl, and then helped with other things afterwards.  (They aren’t joking.  I accidentally touched the bowl when I took it from the microwave and yes, it does get super hot.  Just so you know.).

Here is the sad part of my review.  I can’t find the pictures I took of the finished candies (and of course, hubby and I the kids have long since devoured them all…) but let me tell you- SCRUMPTIOUS.  I’m not even a fan of dark chocolate and this was some yummy chocolate.  The kids and I thought it was so fun to make our very own chocolates!!

Available in Make Your Own Chocolate, Make Your Own Chewing Gum, and Make Your Own Gummies, these activity kits are all-natural, educational, and eco-friendly. With pre-packaged ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, everyone aged 8 and up gets a real kick out of making candy from scratch. Focusing on the history behind and the origin of these candies, each kit is designed to captivate your interest, connect you to the global community, and create something yummy to eat in the process!
