What it is
These are small, round candies with a hard candy shell and a chocolatey center. They are often used for decorating baked goods or for snacking. The combination of the smooth shell and the melt-in-your-mouth center provides a satisfying texture. The colors are vibrant and appealing, making them a popular choice for various occasions. They are a classic candy that brings a touch of sweetness and fun to any event.
How people cook with it
These candies are versatile and can be used in many ways to add color and flavor.
- Decorating cakes
- Filling candy dishes
- Adding to cookie dough
- Party favors
Sixlets can be sprinkled directly onto frosting for a quick and colorful decoration. They can also be pressed into the tops of cookies before baking to add a sweet crunch. For a more elaborate effect, they can be incorporated into candy melts for chocolate bark or used to create edible mosaics. Their small size makes them easy to handle and arrange. They are a simple yet effective way to enhance the visual appeal and taste of desserts and treats.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger chocolate balls, Sixlets are bite-sized and have a distinct candy shell. This shell provides a different texture and a slight crackle when bitten into, contrasting with the softer chocolate inside. The shell also helps maintain their shape and prevents them from melting too quickly in warmer conditions.
Who it is for
Home bakers and candy enthusiasts often use these for their creative projects.
How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of the Sixlets fresh, store them in a cool, dry place. Ensure the original packaging is sealed tightly or transfer them to an airtight container. This will prevent them from becoming stale or absorbing moisture from the air, maintaining their texture and flavor for future use.
