Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips (or dark/white chocolate wafers)
  • as needed Oil-based food coloring optional

Equipment

  • Microwave or Double Boiler
  • Candy Molds
  • Heat-safe bowl
  • Spatula or Spoon

Method
 

Steps
  1. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, ensuring it is smooth and lump-free.
  2. If desired, divide the melted chocolate into separate bowls and mix in oil-based food coloring until uniformly tinted.
  3. Carefully spoon the melted chocolate into your chosen candy molds, filling each cavity to the desired level.
  4. Gently tap the molds against a hard surface to release any trapped air bubbles and ensure the chocolate spreads evenly.
  5. Chill the filled molds in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
  6. Once set, gently unmold the chocolates by flexing the mold, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

Ensure molds are completely clean and dry before use to prevent sticking. Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture. Avoid any contact with water when melting chocolate, as this can cause it to seize and become unusable.
