Excellent for dipping candy
These wafers are excellent for dipping candy. The taste is far better than almond bark. And, I love that I don't have to worry about tempering chocolate.I have probably used a dozen bags of this in the past year, mostly making caramels. I have only had one occasion where a few of my pieces had bloom on them (white streaks). And that was only on the last two pieces I dipped in my last batch! I'm not sure what I did that caused that.I prefer the taste of the dark wafers over the white. Also, the white takes much longer to set up.As you can see in my photos, I'm a little messy in my dipping. But it's very easy to trim off the excess to make your candy look good.

These are delicious! They are a more sweet dark and not bitter at all. They melted like a dream and set well too. They're not waxy or fake tasting and didn't once try to seize up. I used them to make cupcake toppers and they worked perfectly. I just put a handful directly into my piping bag and microwaved them right in the bag! No mess! The left overs my family and I ate straight from the bag! They are that good! I will use these instead of candy melts for all my projects from now on. Although I will add that I found these a fair amount cheaper at my local Walmart after I purchased these from Amazon.

I love using these for every baking project! They melt no fuss. You can eat them right out of the bag haha. I have made chocolate covered fruit, chocolate lollipops, cakepops, cheesecake drizzle. The temperament is amazing! Even once you refrigerate it, it becomes solid again so you can save the left overs if you didn't get it contaminated. If you serve chocolate covered fruit for example it won't melt immediately after you set it out. One of my favorites. I always get great compliments. If you love baking be a6ure to try these. Bake your heart out. Enjoy!
