Sallene, make sure to send us pictures once the frogs are all boxed up!! crafts@the-leaky-cauldron.org
Eventually, I'll have to make some for myself too

Will do! I did a practice one last night and it looks cute. I just need to get some cardstock, so it's more sturdy.

Yes, cardstock is probably a better idea... Will you wrap the frogs inside the boxes? I'm thinking otherwise you should think about lining the inside of the box (at least the bottom) with aluminum or wax paper, otherwise the chocolate greasy part will go through your cardstock.

I hadn't thought about it yet, but that is a good idea. I'll probably put some waxed paper or parchment paper in the bottom. Thanks!

This is a good idea! I love the box!
 I had a party for the release of book 7 and we had gummy frogs that we dipped in fondue chocolate...

I made some and they are in the pictures now I think. now all I need is my mold to make some frogs. I think that a piece of wax paper cut to shape would be perfect for the bottom of the box it would keep the chocolate 'sweat' from soaking through and I painted mine so it would also keep the paint off of the frog.
also... card stock works wonderful but you should try to get the thickest you can find so that it a.)holds the paint better if you use paint and b.) can take more damage and wont crush as easily as thinner paper --------------------  Guys like Edward ARE out there. Sometimes you gotta kiss a fair number of frogs before you meet your prince. |
