chocolate wishbones
What are chocolate wishbones? The classic Thanksgiving wishbone concept… but chocolate.
You can still partake in the “mine’s bigger than yours” wishbone tradition without taking a day to roast a turkey.
And bonus, you can make a bunch of these, so more than two people can play. And extra bonus, they are made of chocolate. Chocolate wish bones will totally win Thanksgiving.

These are super duper easy to make. They take mere seconds. Minutes if you count the microwave time. But just in case you need some guidance, here is a handy video with all the how-tos
to make chocolate wish bones
you will need:*
*Use white chocolate chips or candy melts. Find candy melts and the disposable decorating bags in the craft store.
Pour some candy melts in a disposable decorating bag (about half full).
Microwave the bag at 50 percent power for 90 seconds.
Massage the candy melts and continue to microwave at 50 percent power for 30 second intervals until the candy is almost melted, then massage the bag to fully melt.
Snip the tip off the bag and pipe wishbone shapes on the wax paper. Let set a couple hours.

He-he-he. How many wish bones does a turkey have? Very clever. The word verification is 'couth'. Is it 'couth' to do the wish bone thing? Tee-hee.

Brilliant. Every year the four of us kids would fight over the wishbone. What a great was to give everyone in the family a chance to make a wish and even if you are the loser, you win, because you get to eat chocolate! Yum.

having sat for the past 10 hours in lectures and then just completed a 2 hour 120 question "take home" test I would like to break a bone or two if you catch my drift (instructors). This approach will keep me out of jail and my creative sweet tooth satisfied – muchas gracias –

My kids would LOVE these! The fighting over the wishbone never ends at my house!
Sue says
Hooray, no fighting over one wishbone! Love it, Meaghan!
Crazy Lady says
Fantastic idea! So fantastic I am about to make some for our Thanksgiving gathering on Saturday. 🙂 Thanks for the great idea!
Crazy Lady says
Tip #1 Don't make these after you have decorated a bunch of cookies. Your hand can only take so much squeezing. Tip #2 The table is your friend. Use it to stabilize.Tip#3 Even if you mess them up, remember they are chocolate and you can eat the mistakes. 🙂
the decorated cookie says
ha, good tips, Crazy Lady!! Yes, doesn't matter how it all comes out, it's chocolate. Maybe not "wishbone," more "giblet"? (Also, could be the bag opening too small or big? Or hand cramp from all the cookie decorating. Oh, I've been there.)

Oh my goodness, these are adorable and bring back so many memories of growing up. My mom would always save the wishbones and when they were dry enough there was always a chorus of *I do, I do* between seven kids when she would ask, who wants to make a wish?

Genius – I've been a vegetarian for over 20yrs which means I NEVER get the wishbone opportunity. This year I will with this!!
