When I purchased the educational snack "Tanoshii Omatsuriya-san" introduced the other day, I found Meiji's "Handmade Apollo" on the same shelf. The price was 245 yen (tax included).

Handmade Apollo

Handmade Apollo" is a kit to make various shapes of "Apollo" by hand. By simply pouring chocolate into the mold and decorating it, you can make your own original Apollo chocolates. It looks interesting, so I tried it.


All you need is hot water (about 50 degrees Celsius) to warm up the chocolate pen and a vessel to pour hot water. All the tools for making Apollo (3 kinds of chocolate, molds, colorful mints, and sticks) are included in the set.


The procedure is very simple. First, melt the chocolate pen in hot water, and when it becomes soft, simply pour it into the mold.



Decorate as you wish, combining two kinds of chocolate or topping with colorful mints. Be careful with the chocolate pen, however, as it hardens quickly. It is recommended that you first think about how you want to design it before you start making it.


After shaking the mold gently to make sure that the chocolate has filled all the way to the bottom, put it in the refrigerator and chill it for at least 30 minutes! The original Apollo is now complete.



It tastes just like ordinary Apollo. However, it tastes a little better than usual when you think you made it yourself.



Handmade Apollo" is an easy way to make your original Apollo. You can enjoy various decorations depending on your ideas. Please try it.
