Frozen Olaf Chocolate covered Caramel Pears

By Ashlee Marie 24 Comments

I’m excited to start sharing some of the food from the Frozen birthday party with you guys!  My favorite???  This caramel and chocolate covered pears, or Olaf Pears!  When I was at Walt Disney World for a conference in March I got to see these cute chocolate and caramel covered apples decorated to look like Olaf… They were adorable, BUT the round shape wasn’t really olaf like more traditional snowman.

making these sweet caramel and chocolate Olaf pears for your frozen party is easy and delicous - full video tutorial as well

So when I was at the grocery store one week doing my grocery shopping and I walked past the pears was inspired! And I will tell you, caramel covered pears are SOOOOOO much better than caramel covered apples, but they are more sensitive, so don’t make them super far in advanced.

So I started by washing all the pears, then sticking them with caramel apples sticks.  (A lot of them ended up splitting, so the next time I made them I didn’t use the sticks, I held the top, I also didn’t have the caramel and chocolate go all the way to the top)

Then melt about 8-10 oz of caramel and dip your clean and dry pear into the caramel.  Give it a good swirl, making sure it’s all covered, then let it drip a bit.  once the largest drips are gone scrap the bottom off…

Hold it upside down to let it set a bit, then place it on parchment paper.  Do this with all your pears and let cool (I refrigerated mine for a little bit to hold their shape better).

caramel covered pears is seriously one of the most delicious treats you'll have

Do the same thing with the melted white chocolate and you can see the head already taking shape!  I let the pears rest however they wanted, since trying to get them all upright was a bit of a struggle. When your buying your pears check to make sure they stay upright so this won’t happen.

I had Lego Boy roll out a bunch of fondant noses for me.  They aren’t all the same and they aren’t all perfect, but that’s what makes them so great!!! I think they all made great “carrots” this way.  I considered adding some orange sugar to give it a sparkle, but opted against it.

adding white chocolate, fondant noses and some candy eyeballs and your pears turn into Olaf

I used some of the melted white chocolate to connect the noses to the pears.  Then I added some black gel food dye to turn the chocolate grey.  Then I attached the candy eye’s with the grey chocolate.  And finally I pipped the grey chocolate on as the mouth!  I TOTALLY forgot the EYEBROWS! GAH… oh well

an easy tutorial for making your own Olaf pears for your Frozen party

The kids LOVED them and they tasted AMAZING!  I will warn you, make sure you buy your pears the day before and use them right away they ripen FAST and start to get gooey/mushy quickly.  These are not something you can make way ahead of time, they do NOT keep.

Ingredients
  • 8 pears
  • 8 sticks
  • 1 lbs caramel
  • 10 oz white chocolate
  • grey gel food dye
  • 2 oz orange fondant
  • 16 candy eyes
  • piping bag
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
  1. So I started by washing all the pears, then sticking them with caramel apples sticks.  (Try not to let them slit, if they do the caramel won't stick well, in fact it will keep oozing under the caramel and chocolate and cause problems later)
  2. Then melt about 8-10 oz of caramel and dip your clean and dry pear into the caramel.  
  3. Give it a good swirl, making sure it's all covered, then let it drip a bit.  
  4. Once the largest drips are gone scrap the bottom off.
  5. Hold it upside down to let it set a bit, then place it on parchment paper.  
  6. Do this with all your pears and let cool (I refrigerated mine for a little bit to hold their shape better).
  7. Do the same thing with the melted white chocolate and you can see the head already taking shape!
  8. I let the pears rest however they wanted, since trying to get them all upright was a bit of a struggle.
  9. Roll out a bunch of fondant noses in your palm to create the carrot shape.  
  10. I use some of the melted white chocolate to connect the noses to the pears.  
  11. Then add some black gel food dye to turn the chocolate grey.  
  12. Then I attached the candy eye's with the grey chocolate.  
  13. Pipe the grey chocolate on as the mouth and eyebrows.

    These are so cute in the pictures! However, I tried making them and they didn’t turn out like the pictures—harder than it seems. 🙁

      what part did you have a problem with? You have to make sure that your pears are BRAND new, they are so much softer than apples that they are easy to be too just pop off the sticks, and get too goopy. Try only doing it halfway in the caramel (so you can keep your hand on the pear). Make sure the caramel is high quality and warm enough that it is a nice thin layer, if it’s too thick it will keep running off the pear over night and cause more problems later. Anyway, I’m just guessing that the caramel was the tricky part (cause it was def the tricky part for me)

      you are so welcome! I’d suggest doing a practice run (like one or two) but do the party ones as close to the party as you can!

    Yum. Looks fabulous. I know 2 little girls who are big fans of Frozen who’d go wild over these. I am sure I could help them eat them. I’ll leave the work to their Mum though. I’ll be the one who encourages and helps get things needed and I might be nice and help clean up. The girls will have birthdays in a few months but think Mum will be a bit tired out with no 3 on the way

      I totally understand that, since I have 5, although I was more tired at the beginning of my pregnancies than at the end. Hopefully you and the girls can have a BALL making some.
