Make Chocolate Candy With Melting Trays

Chocoholics the world over crave the confection's warm taste and texture. You can make your own delectable candy with trays that take care of the hard part: preparing the chocolate to make your candy.


Instructions


1. Select a tray that will fit into the microwave oven easily. This tray should be made of glass. Cover it with wax paper.


2. Lay out the chocolate you want to melt in a single layer on the wax paper lined melting tray.


3. Microwave on high for one minute and stir the chocolate around to see how well it has melted. If it hasn't melted, microwave again for 1/2 to 1 minute.


4. Position the melting tray over a pot of hot water to keep the chocolate from cooling too quickly. To accomplish this, use a small slow cooker or other electric pot.








5. Take a candy center and, using a spoon, roll it around on the chocolate that is still in the melting stage. Use this same technique with strawberries you want to dip into chocolate.


6. Place the piece of candy onto a non-heated tray lined with waxed paper and allow it to set.
