But if you’re wondering, you’re not limited to making just pokéballs. This quirky kit also lets you create chocolate versions of characters like Pikachu, in addition to other Pokémon from the new Sun and Moon anime series, such as Litten, Rowlet, and Popplio.
Secondly, it’s super easy to use. All you’ve got to do is throw in the chocolate that comes with the kit into the microwave, and heat it up. After which, you need to pour it into the provided mould, and cool it in the refrigerator.
