EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Chocolate-flavored candy coating can be used instead of the vanilla coating. Or make two batches—one of each!

Candy coating, also called confectionary coating, is used for preparing and dipping candy. Whether left white or tinted pastel, candy coating melts and sets easier than chocolate. Look for candy coating in the baking aisle of the store.

Made these hearts to give to coworkers this holiday season and they were a hit! Fun to make and folks seemed delighted to receive. The only change I would make next year is replacing the Candiquik with real white chocolate. I'm just not partial to the taste of that stuff and prefer real chocolate. Other than that, I wouldn't alter a thing!
