Ingredients
- 1 Cup Animal crackers
- 1 1/2 Cups Chocolate melting wafers
Optional Decorations
- Candy sprinkles
- Sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Place the melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl—heat for 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Drop an animal cracker into the melted chocolate.
- Use the dipping tool to turn the cookie a few times, ensuring it is fully enrobed in chocolate. Then, lift it out of the chocolate.
- Tap the tool on the side of the bowl a couple of times to allow the excess chocolate to drip off the cookie, then place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If you want to decorate with candy sprinkles or sea salt, allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes, then sprinkle with your chosen decoration. You want the chocolate to still be tacky, so the decoration will stick, but not sink.
- Repeat until the desired amount of animal crackers are coated in chocolate
- Allow the chocolate to be fully set, then move the candy to an airtight container for storage
Notes
You will need approximately one and a half cups of chocolate for each cup of animal crackers, but quantities will vary depending on how thick you make your coating and the size of the cookies.
