Finding Dory Party Foods: Finding Dory Chocolate Covered Waffle Bowls
I may getting getting ahead of myself here, but I am so excited about Finding Dory swimming into theaters on June 17th! In fact, big kids and little kids everywhere are getting prepared for the next deep sea adventure featuring everyone’s favorite forgetful blue tang, Dory, along with her friends Nemo and Marlin! If you are already finding yourself planning fun-filled Finding Dory (or any ocean themed) parties, then you are going to want to keep this Finding Dory Chocolate Covered Waffle Bowls Recipe close by for easy access!
Don’t let working with fondant scare you away, either. It’s no harder than playing with playdough! Simply roll it out flat, and cut out shapes with a fondant knife! You will need a Dory (or other fish) template for this recipe. I simply found one through Google, printed it, and then cut it out.

What You Will Need
Ingredients
- Blue Fondant
- Yellow Fondant
- White Frosting
- Black Frosting
- Blue Frosting
- Light Blue Frosting
- Mini Waffle Bowls
- Yellow Candy Melts
- Blue Sugar Sprinkles
- Vanilla Ice Cream
Tools
- Finding Dory Paper Template (or any fish template)
- Fondant Roller (or small rolling pin)
- Fondant Knife
What To Do
Begin by roling the blue fondant out flat. Place the Dory paper template on top of the fondant, and then use the fondant knife to cut around template. Make sure to remove any excess fondant. I also used the fondant knife to make little indentions along the head of the blue fondant fish (see second picture below).
Next, roll the yellow fondant out flat, and then place the fin cutouts on top of fondant. Using the fondant knife, carefully cut around the template and remove the excess fondant. Place the yellow fins in place on top of blue fondant. If you want to, you can go ahead and lightly trace out the facial features on the blue fondant with the knife so you can easily fill them in with icing in the next few steps. And now you are finished with the hardest part – the rest is easy!
Using the white frosting, draw/fill in big round eyes onto the blue fondant.
Now draw the pupils on the eyes with the black frosting. 
Using the light blue frosting and the blue frosting, draw accent lines on the fish around the fins, mouth and head. Once finished, place in freezer for at least 15 minutes to allow the fondant to harden.
Meanwhile, melt the yellow candy melts in a microwave safe bowl or using a double-boiler. Once the candy is completely melted, use a small spoon to thoroughly cover the inside of each mini waffle bowl. 
Add a light dusting of blue sugar sprinkles along the edge of the bowl, and then place in the freezer for 15 minutes or until the candy melt has hardened.
Once the candy is hard, add 3 small scoops of vanilla ice cream to each waffle bowl, and top with another dusting of blue sugar sprinkles.
Top it off with a Finding Dory fondant treat…
