What it is
These are small, colorful, button-shaped chocolates. Each piece is covered in a hard candy shell. The shell is designed to be smooth and easy to eat. Inside the shell is a solid piece of milk chocolate. The candy shell comes in various bright colors. The chocolate inside is sweet and creamy. They are a popular treat for many people.
How people cook with it
These candies are often enjoyed as a simple snack. They can also be incorporated into various baked goods and desserts.
- Snack on them directly
- Add to cookies
- Decorate cakes
- Mix into ice cream
When eating them as a snack, simply unwrap and enjoy. For baking, they can be added to cookie dough before baking. They will soften slightly in the oven but generally hold their shape. When decorating cakes or cupcakes, they can be pressed into frosting or sprinkled on top. They can also be melted down for certain candy-making applications, though this requires careful temperature control to prevent burning. Their colorful shells make them visually appealing in many dishes.

How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of the candies fresh, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in humid environments, as this can cause the candy shells to become sticky or the chocolate to bloom.
