These are so easy to make that the kids can help me prepare them. It is just as easy to make a wide variety of these fancy morsels which allows you to set forth an impressive candy tray. Also makes an excellent gift. I prefer to work in small batches but the recipe can certainly be doubled or tripled.
Time to Make: 10 minutes preparation
Ingredients:
1 cup chocolate or white chocolate coating wafers (approximately)
Filling Ingredients: Choose any combination of the following to equal
approximately 1/4 cup:
Coconut, regular or toasted
Chopped pecans
Chopped walnuts
Chopped peanuts
Chopped almonds
Chopped hazelnuts
Chopped cashews
Chopped macadamia nuts
Toffee bits
Finely crushed pretzels
Rice Krispies
Chopped dried fruit
Crushed mint candies
Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
Steps:
1. Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe dish.
2. Heat for 1 minute and stir.
3. If needed, heat in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until
melted and smooth.
4. Stir in one or two of the filling ingredients listed.
5. The amount and combinations depends on personal taste but don’t add so
much that the mixture doesn’t hold together.
6. Spoon mixture into mini candy papers.
7. Garnish with more the the Filling Ingredient(s) used or drizzle, in a
contrasting chocolate, in a zig-zag pattern on top.
8. TIPS: do not allow moisture to come in contact with the chocolate
while it is melting or it will “bind” and become an unusable mess.
9. Make sure your bowl and spoons are completely dry.
