To use these milk chocolate melting wafers, simply place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in short intervals, stirring gently between each interval, until they are fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, they can be melted in a double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, the chocolate can be used immediately for dipping, drizzling, or coating. Avoid overheating, as this can cause the chocolate to seize or burn. The smooth consistency makes them easy to work with for intricate designs or simple coatings.
