Tips/Notes

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