Ingredients

12 store-bought vanilla sugar wafers

12 mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Cut a point in one end of the sugar wafers.
Dip the uncut end of the sugar wafers into the melted pink candy melts to a depth of about ¾ to 1 inch. Place on parchment or wax paper to harden. (See Tips 3 and 4)
Dip the pointed end of the sugar wafers in the melted bright-white candy melts, totally covering the point.
Before the white candy melts have hardened, place a mini chocolate chip on the tip of the pointed end. Place on parchment or wax paper to harden. (See Tips 3 and 4)

Notes

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.
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, they will take longer to harden.
You will have leftover melted candy melts. Feel free, however, to add more sugar wafers to the recipe.
