I made these Keroppi chocolates from a mold, which I bought years ago. So, I’m not sure if they are available anymore. Using the mold, here’s what I did next.

hi, what kind of food colouring did you use? liquid? paste? powder? i’ve heard chocolate can’t be coloured with paste or liquid colours because the chocolate will seize.
