Melting chocolate in The Microwave
In a microwave-safe container, microwave candy melts at 50% power or the defrost setting on your microwave. Melt for one minute to start. Remove and stir.
Place back in the microwave for an additional 30 seconds at 50% power. Remove and stir. Continue to do this in 30 second intervals until smooth and creamy.
Remember less is better. You can help melt some pieces that are still not fully melted by stirring with a spoon. You do not want to over microwave your chocolate.
Can I Use The Instant Pot To Melt Chocolate
Yes, you absolutely can melt chocolate in the Instant Pot. I share a step by step process of how you do this, and you will love how easy it is. I have moved to melt chocolate in the Instant Pot because it is so easy to do. Plus you can move it anywhere that has a plugin close. That makes it nice for making it versatile.
Tips & Tricks
- Choose Quality Wafers: Vanilla and strawberry crème wafers work best for this recipe, but you can use your favorite flavors for a unique twist.
- Work Quickly: Once the wafers are dipped in melted chocolate, add the sprinkles immediately before the chocolate sets.
- Melt Chocolate Properly: Use an instant pot as a double boiler for smooth, even melting, or follow the microwave instructions on the candy melts package for quick results.
- Customize Sprinkles: Don’t have Valentine’s sprinkles? No problem! Use heart-shaped candies, edible glitter, or even crushed freeze-dried strawberries for decoration.4. How do I keep the wafers from breaking?
Handle the wafers gently and dip them halfway into the chocolate. Using a spoon to apply the chocolate is a great option if you’re worried about them snapping.
FAQs
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Love Dipped Wafers can be made up to three days in advance. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh.
