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.

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.
