Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate
- 2 cups semi-sweet melting chocolates
- 2 cups white chocolate melting wafers
Decorations
- ½ cup white non-pareil sprinkles
- ½ cup red, green, and white non-pareil sprinkles
- ½ cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Prepare the sprinkles. Arrange your white non-pareil sprinkles, red/green/white non-pareil sprinkles, and crushed candy canes in three separate rows about a quarter inch deep. It is easiest to use a serving dish with high edges or three separate plates to keep the sprinkles organized and accessible.
- Melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt one type of chocolate (semi-sweet or white) following the package instructions carefully. Melt only one type at a time to avoid re-melting and hardening issues.
- Make the candy. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a small hole cut in the tip. Pipe small circles approximately half an inch in diameter directly over the sprinkles, covering the area evenly until you have used all the chocolate or half of the sprinkles.
- Remove the candy. Let the chocolate set on top of the sprinkles for about 5 minutes until hardened. To speed this up, place the candies briefly in the refrigerator. Once hardened, gently lift the candies from the sprinkles using a fork to avoid breaking them.
- Repeat. Repeat the melting, piping, and setting process with the remaining chocolate type, following the same steps for a colorful variety.
- Finish. Place your finished candies into a bowl, mason jar, or gift bag for serving or gifting. These candies can be enjoyed immediately or given as festive holiday treats.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe bowl for melting the chocolates and heat in short intervals to avoid burning.
- Work quickly as melted chocolate can harden fast once removed from heat.
- For easier candy removal, chill the candies for a minute in the refrigerator after piping.
- This recipe yields about 40-50 small candies depending on size piped.
- Store finished candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- Feel free to customize sprinkles and decorations to match other holiday themes.
