Equipment
- Double boiler optional
Ingredients
- 1 cup gummy bears
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate melting wafers milk, dark or white
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.
- Place a gummy bear on the dipping tool and lower it into the melted chocolate.
- Use the dipping tool to turn the gummy bear 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 candy, then place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat until the desired amount of gummy bears 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 gummy bears, but quantities will vary depending on how thick you make your coating and the size of the gummy bears.
