Counter-Strike Candy Logo

Counter-Strike Candy LogoA candy Counter-Strike logo created from dark and white chocolate.

Counter-Strike is the most satisfying game ever – or the most frustrating, depending on the day. I've logged thousands of hours into this game and will no doubt log many more. CS is a game for all time.

When you're T on dust, there's not much you can do except party in the party van.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dark chocolate melts
3 cups white chocolate melts

A 1/2 cup of chocolate melts will be enough for a dozen Counter-Strike logos. You can use chocolate instead of candy bits, but the chocolate can lead to streaking.

Scoop the 1/2 cup of chocolate melts into a plastic bag, but don't seal the bag quite yet.

Pop up in the microwave for 10 seconds. Move the melts around a bit and pop in for another 10 seconds. Mush the melts around again, and repeat until they are fully melted. It took me 40 seconds before every bit melted.

Place a square of wax paper over the logo. It can be any size, but there are pointy bits on the MP5 which can be tricky for the smaller logo sizes.

Seal the bag and clip a tiny corner off. Draw over the Counter-Strike logo, top-to-bottom.

Once done, move the design off to a place where it won't be smudged and begin the next logo with a fresh square of wax paper.

After 20 minutes, the design will have hardened and you can fill in the backing with white chocolate melts.

CTs everywhere!

Place the three cups of the white chocolate into a plastic and use the same zap-and-mush-around-every-ten-seconds method until the white chocolate has fully melted. Move a chocolate design back over the printed logo and outside the circle. Fill in with white chocolate melts.

Allow the logos to set for 30 minutes.

If you have a stiff frosting, you can place the logos upright on a cupcake.

Laying them down on top of a cupcakes works just peachy as well.

The candy logos work for cookies, too. Bake some sugar cookies and place the same-sized candy logo on top. You'll want the sugar cookie to be pretty thick and the candy part to be pretty thin, otherwise you'll get an overwhelming taste of candy and not so much cookie.

The perfect sugary treat while gaming with the ever polite and proper audience of Counter-Strike.

These came out looking so amazing, Jocelyn! I haven't had much luck with melted chocolate in the past, so I will stick to admiring yours from afar. :)
