- It's best to melt the candy melts in a tall, narrow microwave-safe bowl to allow for enough depth in the melted candy melts to cover the ends of the sugar wafers.
- If the melted candy melts are too thick for effective dipping, add 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons of vegetable oil to thin them.
- If you have added vegetable oil to thin the candy melts, the candy melts will take longer to harden.
- You will have leftover melted candy melts. Feel free, however, to add more sugar wafers to the recipe.
