How to Dip in Chocolate
submitted by: Bridgette Fife
Directions:
Dark Cocoa Candy Melts from Wilton is a good choice for the dipping. It is easy and practically no fail. There are different ways to melt the chocolate. In the microwave, on a heating pad or in a double boiler. To melt in the microwave simply put the Candy Melts into a casserole dish and microwave at half power for 1 minute and stir. Continue microwaving at half power for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
Using a spoon or fork, place the chilled center into the melted chocolate and gently roll it over so it is coated, ending up with the center upside down in the chocolate. Slip the fork or spoon underneath the center, lift it out, and carefully flip it right side up on marble slab or waxed paper. You might want to try twisting a thread of chocolate to make that distinctive little swirl across the top. Dipping with toothpicks is another way to dip.
