Harry Potter; Honeyduke’s Chocolate Frogs

Harry Potter· JK Rowling· Sweets and Candies

4 May
Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

“What are these?” Harry asked Ron, holding up a pack of Chocolate Frogs. “They’re not really frogs, are they?” He was starting to feel that nothing would surprise him.

-Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, JK Rowling
Harry Potter Honeydukes Chocolate Frogs | Food in Literature

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a sucker for cute packaging. I love buying into the hype and excitement of themes, like Harry Potter. So it was no surprise that I had to curb my enthusiasm at The Making of Harry Potter in London. I did however, buy one of the Chocolate Frogs.

P_Honeydukes_Chocolate_Frogs_4_Pack_1245475

At the end of the day though, it was just a huge lump of chocolate in the shape of a frog. It may have had its head nibbled at, but it was packed away with the thought, ‘I’ll eat more later’. And so it travelled through Croatia (a nibble here), Greece and Paris (a nibble there), but was eventually thrown out.

So when I sat down to make Harry Potter’s Honeydukes Chocolate Frogs from the Honeydukes Express, I wanted to rethink how they were made. In the movie, you see the frog jump and move like a real frog (most likely due to the ‘croakoa’). While I couldn’t make them move, I did want them to feel more frog like.

I remembered making the ‘Gi-normous Gummy Bears‘ a few years ago, and wondered if there was such a thing as Chocolate Jello (there is). Better yet I found a homemade recipe for Chocolate Jello from Serious Eats and mushed it with my gummy bear recipe.

Visually, I only had one type of frog mold, and it didn’t have as much real detail as I had hoped. I came across this highly detailed chocolate frog mold on Amazon though. I ordered one and used it for the Peppermint Toads.

As an afterthought, I’d highly recommend placing something like pretzel pieces into the middle, so when eaten, it crunches. I thought this after reading that JK Rowling was possibly inspired by Monty Python’s Crunchy Frogs.

Mr. Hilton: Oh, we use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.

Inspector: That’s as may be, but it’s still a frog!

Mr. Hilton: What else?

Inspector: Well, don’t you even take the bones out?

Mr. Hilton: If we took the bones out, it wouldn’t be crunchy, would it?”

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 tbsp gelatine
  • 75ml milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla essence
  • pinch of salt
  • 200mL dark cocoa powder
  • 145ml white sugar
  • 355ml milk

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together the 75ml of milk and gelatine powder. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, mix together the 355ml of milk, white sugar, cocoa powder and salt
  3. Stir until all mixed together, then let sit over the medium heat until it starts to bubble around the edges.
  4. When it starts to bubble, turn off the heat, pour in the vanilla essence, place (carefully!) the gelatine, and stir until dissolved.

    Hello, Bryt!

    We are planning to make your chocolate frogs recipe for a small family party next weekend, but don’t have access to powdered gelatine here, only leaf gelatine. Can you recommend a substitution?

    Thanks,

    Elizabeth

      According to Google, 1 (0.25 oz.) envelope granulated gelatin = 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin = 3 sheets leaf gelatin. Hope that helps!

    I love this take on the chocolate frog! I haven’t had chocolate gummies before, so I’m really intrigued.

      I was mucking around with my microphone and messed up the audio for a few of the videos. It happens!

    Can you make these in advance and freeze them before an event? And if so how long would you freeze them for?

      Hi Chantal, I wouldn’t try freezing them. If making in advance I’d say 48 hours would be fine.

    I’m making this right now….but I’m a little confused. In the video you say 20 ml cocoa, but 200 is written….and I’m messing around with all sorts of converting websites since I’m an American living in Europe with boxes in metric and utensils in US style….but looking at your Pyrex the cocoa looks about at the 75 line….which looks like the exact quantity I have in my box of cocoa and would be great. Could you please clarify for me? Thanks!

      Sorry, Kim, for the confusion! It would be 200ml.

    I made these for a friend’s Harry Potter-themed birthday party this last weekend, and they were SO GOOD! They tasted like chocolate pudding, and squished and stretched in a horribly satisfying way. 🙂 I will be making these again, definitely! Thank you so much for posting this recipe!

    Any suggestions on how to take this recipe and make it vegan? What would the best substitute ingredients for the chocolate and milk would people suggest? I figure Agar Agar for the gelatin.

What a Halloween that was! 🎃 Incredibly gratef What a Halloween that was! 🎃
Incredibly grateful that we were able to celebrate, even though we did things a little differently. 
With a spider theme in mind, my parent's house was covered with a mixture of white weed mat and cheesecloth. The faux spiderweb material we only used on branches, since the darn stuff is sticky and a nightmare to remove! 🕷️🕸️
Kudos to mom who did the majority of the work, adding in faux dead leaves, branches and trees, turning springtime into one magical night of autumn. Dad was in charge of sound effects and lighting.
Typically we hide as characters or creatures in the garden which slows the kids as they come up to the door, giving them time to look around. They can never tell if something is going to move or not!
Being 2020 though, the 'tension' of coming up to the house was broken because the witches were outside. We placed ourselves at a table with an entrance and exit pathway, reminding them to "stay one broomstick apart"! Let's hope next Halloween we're back to 'normal'. We'll have to make up with some extra scares! 🎃  📸 Photos by our Halloween photographer, dad 😉

'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration 'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration for our yard haunt back in 2016. Of course, we had to have him in a field of cornstalks... a tricky task when you live in Australia and it's actually coming into springtime!  Dried banana leaves, with its leaves shredded, were tied to old stick fencing. Lit from below, you would've believed the headless horseman was somewhere nearby. 🎃  #halloweenyardhaunt #Halloween

Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- a small action that makes an ordinary moment meaningful. It's our way of acknowledging, enjoying, being excited, even grateful, for 'right now'. In years like this one, where we can find ourselves wishing for 2020 to be over, it can be even more important for  these moments. ⁣
So instead of focusing on how I found myself time-warped from early September to the end of October, I'm going to simply celebrate the best week of October.⁣
⁣
200 years ago, Washington Irving published his short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Some homemade decorations like a Sleepy Hollow sign, faux 'cornstalks' mixed with some storebought decorations have my house filled with October vibes to celebrate the bicentennial. 🎃⁣

Mixing up a batch of Bilbo’s buttered scones is an easy way to start the morning off right (and doable before work).  I’ve also jumped back onto Youtube to make these alongside you, but- and I guess this reflects the year- I’m changing up my approach to videos. I’ve relaxed my style, and slowed my pace to capture the comfort of baking and cooking that I love so much.  #lotr #lordoftherings #thehobbit #thelordoftherings #tolkien #jrrtolkien #middleearth #hobbitday #bookworm #hobbitweek #foodinliterature #bilbobaggins
