Simple Melting Tips (No Tempering Needed)
These wafers are made for easy melting and coating.
- Microwave method: Use a microwave-safe bowl. Heat 30 seconds, stir; then 15–20 second bursts, stirring each time until smooth.
- Double boiler method: Keep water at a gentle simmer. Place wafers in a dry bowl over steam; stir until smooth.
- Avoid moisture & overheating: A single drop of water can seize chocolate; low, slow heat is best.
- Thin if desired: Add a small amount of candy-coating thinning oil (or paramount crystals) for extra fluidity—especially for fine drizzles and dipping.
Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place (60–70°F), away from heat and odors. Reseal between uses.
How Much Do I Need? (Helpful Estimates)
- Pretzel rods: ~ 20–30 per 1 lb
- Strawberries (medium): ~ 15–25 per 1 lb
- Sandwich cookies: ~ 20–30 per 1 lb
- Molds/bark: depends on thickness; plan 1–2 lbs for a small party platter
Estimates vary with coating thickness and decorations.
