Why use melting chocolate?
Meltable chocolate wafers are super easy to melt in the microwave or double boiler. They have a higher wax content than regular chocolate which makes them more forgiving to work with and less likely to burn.
This holiday chocolate recipe is so much fun for kids of all ages to make and take to holiday parties or events.
I love, love, love how these adorable little Elf chocolates turned out! They would be fun to pack up and wrap with a bit of baker’s twine and gift to friends and family.

Ingredients:
- 4 oz Meltable green chocolate candy melts
- 1 oz Meltable yellow chocolate candy melts
- Red icing
Directions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, melt the green chocolate wafers in the microwave at 15 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely smooth.
3. In a separate small bowl, melt the yellow chocolate wafers.
4. Pour the chocolate into separate piping bags or sturdy plastic bags.
5. Cut the tip from the piping bags and pipe green triangle shapes onto the parchment paper.

Tips for making these elf hats:
- Use candy melts for best results, the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other chocolate to help it melt and pour better.
- Lay the chocolate covered treat on a parchment lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
- Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before serving.
How long do DIY chocolates last?
Store these yummy treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container for up to one month at room temperature. They can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the chocolate from melting or in the freezer for months.
They are a fun addition to a holiday cookie exchange!
