Just taking a minute here to thank you, John. From the posts you;ve
done about your candy makings and the what to but advice, last year I
came up with "Chocolate Dippers" that I make in pans lined with lift-
out parchment so I can cut squares that I poke a sucker stick in, then
set each one in a mini-cupcake paper, wrapping two into a little
plastic bag tied 'round the top with curly ribbon. I put a sticker on
the bottom telling that they certainly be eaten as isw, or they can be
stirred into a small cup of hot milk for a warm treat. Those were
such a big hit that I've been asked to make far more this year, and my
son says ?No sticks in mine, just give me the entire pan to eat like a
candy bar!" And now you tell us of the Chocolatey website where I
immediately went to buy the enrobing chocolate you told of, merely
because of your recomendation. Now, what to do with this new candy
toy? I have never made anything for enrobing, can you recommend
something simple?
Thanks again, Picky
