FAQs

Can I use milk or dark chocolate instead of melting wafers? Yes! Just make sure it melts smoothly, and you temper it lightly if needed.

Can kids help make this? Absolutely! Kids can sprinkle toppings and help drizzle candy melts.

Can I add other candies? Definitely, gummy hearts or chocolate chips work beautifully.

How thin should I spread the chocolate? About ¼ to ½ inch thick is perfect for cutting and serving.

Can I use silicone mats instead of parchment paper? Yes! Silicone mats work great and make cleanup easy.

How do I make it extra festive? Use heart-shaped sprinkles, red and pink candies, or edible glitter.

Can I store it at room temperature? In cooler weather, yes. But in warm rooms, refrigeration is best to prevent melting.
