Easy (But Elegant) Chocolate Candy image

These are so easy to make that the kids can help me prepare them. It is just as easy to make a wide variety of these fancy morsels which allows you to set forth an impressive candy tray. Also makes an excellent gift. I prefer to work in small batches but the recipe can certainly be doubled or tripled.

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe dish.

  • If needed, heat in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  • Stir in one or two of the filling ingredients listed.
  • The amount and combinations depends on personal taste but don't add so much that the mixture doesn't hold together.
  • Spoon mixture into mini candy papers.
  • Garnish with more the the Filling Ingredient (s) used or drizzle, in a contrasting chocolate, in a zig-zag pattern on top.
  • TIPS: do not allow moisture to come in contact with the chocolate while it is melting or it will "bind" and become an unusable mess.
