What it is

To use, gently melt the wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully liquid. Alternatively, they can be melted in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring constantly. Once melted, dip your desired items directly into the chocolate. For thinner consistency, a small amount of vegetable oil or shortening can be added and stirred in. Allow dipped items to set on parchment paper.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike chocolate chips, these wafers are engineered for superior meltability and a glossier finish when set. Their shape also allows for more even melting compared to chunks or chips, reducing the risk of scorching.
