Calling all Harry Potter fans- this EASY Copycat Chocolate Frog Recipe is the PERFECT grab and go treat for Harry Potter movie night or Harry Potter themed parties! If you need a fun, crowd pleasing magical treat, this is what you’ve been looking for!
I absolutely love the Harry Potter movie series. I host a watch party every year for my family. I’m always looking for something related to the movie to share as a fun treat.
This year I’ve re-created the FREE Printable Honeyduke’s Chocolate Frog Box (which you can download for FREE) along with the Harry Potter chocolate frogs. I’ve also re-created the Hogsmeade Butterbeer Recipe which is worth checking out too!
I’m SO thrilled to share the copycat Honeydukes Chocolate Frogs from Harry Potter. You don’t have to have a lot of special tools or skills to make the chocolate frogs from Harry Potter. There aren’t a lot of ingredients either (just 3 ingredients). You just need a frog candy mold which is easy to order online.
Just in case you need a reminder, the Honeyduke’s Chocolate Frogs are a popular confection showcased in the film series. These treats are not your ordinary chocolates: Chocolate Frogs are enchanted to behave like real frogs. They are able to hop around and move. In the first Harry Potter movie, Harry is introduced to these delightful and slightly peculiar sweets during his first journey on the Hogwarts Express.
Let’s Check out this EASY Chocolate Frogs Recipe!
The packaging of a Chocolate Frog includes a collectible card that features a famous witch or wizard. These cards are cherished and collected by wizarding folks, especially children, and provide a small bio of the person featured, alongside a 3D moving portrait.
The witch and wizard cards are highly coveted, collected and traded by all the students of Hogwarts. In the first movie, Harry receives a card of Dumbledore during his first encounter with a Chocolate Frog, providing him and the audience with a whimsical experience that sheds some light on the enchanting and magical world in store.
This Harry Potter Chocolate Frogs Recipe is almost too cute to eat. Almost! This also makes for a fun Halloween treat perfect for a Halloween party, classroom party, potluck, bake sales or Harry Potter movie night at home with the kids!

How to Make Harry Potter Chocolate Frogs Step by Step!
STEP ONE – Melt the Chocolate
We’re using Chocolate Bark for the chocolate frogs. I like to use chocolate bark for melting chocolate over melting chips or discs but you could use those too. First, break a few pieces of the bark and put them in a microwave safe glass bowl. Place in the microwave for 30 second intervals- stirring in between each cycle to avoid burning. The chocolate should be lump free and flow off the spoon easily (see next photo).
Pro Tip: If you want a shiny coating to your chocolate frogs like mine then add a small tsp of vegetable oil or coconut oil after the melting process. This can help thin the chocolate out as well.
STEP TWO – Coat the Mold
Now that the chocolate is melted, take a Silicone Pastry Brush and brush the chocolate to coat the inside of the Chocolate Frog Candy Mold mold. Throw the mold into the freezer for about 2 minutes so the chocolate will fully set. Make sure you leave a pocket area for the secret center surprise which we’ll discuss in the next step!
You *can* spoon in a thin layer of chocolate straight into the mold if you don’t have a pastry brush of some sort but I think brushing the first layer helps the chocolate reach all the cracks and crevasses of the frog mold.
STEP THREE – Add The Secret Frog Center
Next will create the surprise crunchy center! This is really fun because it takes people by surprise that there is some sort of crunchy center. Kids go crazy for it! When your chocolate has set pour Colorful Sprinkles or Jimmies into the mold. I used sprinkles but you can add peanut butter, caramel bits, rice krispie cereal or marshmallows.
STEP FOUR – Add the Remaining Melted Chocolate
If your chocolate has set in your bowl you can re-melt it in the microwave again using the same instructions we gave you earlier. Pour the melted chocolate into the frog cavity, all the way to the top. Lightly tap the mold up and down on the counter to help air bubbles rise to the surface. You can also pop any air bubbles with a toothpick for a nice smooth finish.
STEP FIVE – Release the Chocolate Frogs From the Mold
Allow the frogs to completely cool at room temperature (do not put in the refrigerator or freezer as they can crack). Remove frogs from the mold by gently bending the Chocolate Frog Candy Mold under each individual frog and lightly pushing up under their backs to release them. Once they are removed from the mold you can gently remove any excess chocolate with a sharp knife.
STEP SIX -Place the Frogs In The FREE Frog Box

Copycat Chocolate Frog Recipe Pro-tips:
- If you want a shiny coating to your chocolate frogs like mine then add a small tsp of vegetable oil or coconut oil after the melting process. This can help thin the chocolate out as well.
- Get the whole family involved in the chocolate frog making process. Kids can pick their favorite center (such as sprinkles, rice krispies, marshmallows or caramel) while you help pour the chocolate! It’s a great family activity you can do together!
