- Then, using the white cookie icing, write 'TOUCHDOWN' in both end zones.
Make The Chocolate Goal Posts
- Next, add the chocolate to the large bowl and melt according to the package instructions, or follow these guidelines:Microwave on high for 45 seconds, then stir thoroughly.Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly.Continue microwaving in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly, until all the chocolate has just about melted. (The remaining few pieces should melt on their own, and it’s a good way to ensure you don’t overheat the chocolate).
