Equipment
- 2 half sheet pans
- Parchment paper
- large microwave proof bowl
- Wilton Candy Melts Dipping Tool Set
- Fine Tip Straight Long tweezers
- Disposable Piping Bag
Ingredients
- 36 oz Bright White Candy Melts
- 24 Lady Finger Cookies
- 48 Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Place the bright white candy melts in a large microwave-proof bowl and heat for one minute at 50% power, then stir after heating. Continue heating for 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each heating, until the candy has melted and is a dipping consistency.1
- Line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper and set one pan aside. Place one lady finger into the melted candy, and using a fork, gently roll it around so it is entirely covered.
- Carefully lift the dipped lady finger out of the melted candy and allow the excess melted candy to drip off. Place the dipped lady finger on a parchment-lined half-sheet pan.2 Next, quickly place two mini chocolate chips at the top of the dipped lady finger for the eyes.
- Repeat dipping the lady fingers and placing the chocolate chip eyes until all the fingers have been dipped. Transfer the remaining melted candy to a disposable piping bag.
- Snip the tip off the piping bag and pipe the melted candy in a back-and-forth motion over the tops of the lady fingers to give the mummies their bandaged appearance. Allow the candy to dry completely. Then transfer the Candy Mummy Lady Fingers to an airtight container.
- Yield 24 Candy Mummy Lady Fingers
Tips/Notes
- If the candy is too thick to dip, add one tablespoon of solid vegetable shortening for every 12 ounces of candy melts. Heat for 30 seconds at 50% power and stir to fully incorporate the melted shortening.
- Place 12 dipped lady fingers on each parchment-lined pan to prevent overcrowding.
