Crafted from fondant, icing, and waffle bowls, these made-from-scratch Finding Dory Chocolate Covered Waffle Bowls recipe will be the life of any Finding Dory or ocean-themed party!
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.

Begin by rolling the blue fondant out flat.
-
Place the Dory paper template on top of the fondant, and use the fondant knife to cut around template. Make sure to remove any excess fondant.
-
At this point, I also used the fondant knife to make little indentions along the head of the blue fondant fish.
-
Next, roll the yellow fondant out flat, and then place the fin cutouts on top of it.
-
Using the fondant knife, carefully cut around the template fins and remove the excess fondant.
-
Place the yellow fondant fins in place on top of blue fondant.
-
Using the white frosting, draw/fill in big round eyes onto the blue fondant. Then use the black icing to fill in the pupils.
-
Next, use the light blue frosting and the blue frosting to 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 and enjoy!
How many Finding Dory fondant fish you get out of this recipe depends on how much fondant you use.
