Dipping
Instructions: Prepare items to be dipped. Melt desired
color or flavor of Make'n Mold candy wafers in ChocoMaker Candy Melter
or a large bowl. Use a toothpick, skewer, fork or hold by one end to
dip items into the melted wafers. Chill 10-15
minutes.
Hint 1:
Always chill pieces after dipping them to prevent blooming. To make
chilling easier, place items on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet as you
dip them. Then place the whole cookie sheet in the
refrigerator.
Hint 2:
For fondue fun, prepare the items to be dipped according to
instructions below. Place on a platter and serve to guests so they can
dip themselves and eat immediately. No chilling
necessary!

Items to
Dip
Apples, bananas, pears and
starfruit: About two hours ahead of time, cut into bite-size chunks or
slices. Dip the cut fruit into lemon, orange or pineapple juice or
lemon-lime soda. Chill until ready to dip. Blot with a paper towel
before dipping.
Strawberries, cherries and grapes:
Use a damp paper towel to gently wipe fresh strawberries, cherries and
grapes clean before dipping. Leave berries and cherries with the stems
on and spear grapes with toothpicks.
Pineapple: Cut
into chunks and dab with a dry paper towel to soak up any juice before
dipping.
Marshmallows, cookies (sandwich, biscotti,
shortbread), pretzels, graham crackers, angel food cake, large pieces
of dried fruit: Use toothpicks, forks or hold by one end to
dip dry items into melted wafers. Cut angel food cake into cubes before
dipping.
Peanut butter balls, Brownie cubes, cookie
squares: For a special event, make your favorite food or
dessert into a ball or square that can be dipped. Dip into melted
wafers using a slotted spoon to allow excess wafers to drip off
underneath before setting on waxed paper to
chill.
Skewers: Spear small items such as
mini marshmallows, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, and raisins. Dip
entire end of skewer into the melted wafers. These are perfect for
fondue fun, too! |
Drizzling
Instructions:
Melt desired color of Make'n Mold candy wafers in a small pitcher with
a spout, in the microwave. Pour melted wafers into a Make'n Mold
miniature squeeze bottle. Screw on a Make'n Mold writer cap to the
miniature squeeze bottle. Tipping the bottle upside down, squeeze while
moving your wrist back and forth over the item to be dipped.
Hint 1: The Make'n Mold miniature squeeze
bottle and writer cap make a perfect drizzle tool; however, if you do
not have these items you may dip a fork into the melted wafers and
drizzle candy from that over the desired
items.
Items to be drizzled: Dress up any food with
a little bit of drizzled candy...any candy-dipped items; clusters and
bark; frosted cakes and cupcakes; cheesecake; crumb topped or
open-topped pie; ice cream; or caramel
apples.
