So maybe Sno-Caps chocolate weren’t the best candy item to make during Los Angeles’ hottest week of the year. I found photographing these puppies only enabled them to melt even quicker while being subjected to my extremely hot-as-a-donkey’s-butt kitchen (sorry Mom for the vulgar language–I know you are reading this, threatening me with a good mouth washing). I can’t help it. I’m a classless broad.
Just make sure that when you do set out to make these that your kitchen isn’t blistering like a sauna and you have plenty of cool air flowing. Maybe even wait until the chill of fall weather sets in your town. Just saying…
Place in a box and tote them with you to your next movie (I don’t know why but I always associate Sno-Caps as movie candy).
Homemade Vegan Sno-Caps
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 Tb cocoa powder
- 3 Tb coconut oil, melted
- 3 Tb powdered sugar
- 1 tsp agave/maple syrup/sweetener of choice
- dash of vanilla
- vegan Sprinklez (nonpareils)
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients together (except for the sprinkles) in a small bowl.
- Allow to set for a couple of minutes in the fridge. You do not want it to completely set but you also don’t want it be liquid-y. Give enough time for the coconut oil to harden up a little.
- Place in a Ziploc bag and cut a small snip out of one corner.
- One a parchment paper-line baking sheet make small circles with your chocolate.
- Immediately sprinkle with nonpareils.
- Allow to fully set in fridge or freezer.
hey Cara,
all the chocolates i make melt unless i keep them in the fridge. How can i make them so they are always solid? Maybe its just because i live in Florida? Do you keep yours cold?
That sounds familiar for me as well 🙂 The chocolates I make from scratch have the tendency to melt easier than the store bought, which is why I keep mine in the fridge too. I think if you add more powdered sugar to the mix, this will allow it to set a little better but I think it will always be more melty, especially if you live in a place that is humid.
YUmmmmmm!
What brand of nonpareils did you use? I’ve been finding it hard to spot an ingredients list on most websites.
Hi Sarah! For vegan sprinkles, check out Sprinklez:

Sno-Caps are definitely movie candy, he he! They look delicious.
Fall has set in in Northwestern PA, I think these would be safe from melting in my kitchen.

Sprinklez. I just want to say that over and over again. Sprinklez. Kinda like “Precious, where is my Precious?” Looks like my Christmas To Do list has begun.
