Instructions
1
Begin by placing the chocolate wafers into a microwave-safe bowl.
2
Microwave the wafers for 1 minute on high, then stir gently. If the chocolate is not completely melted, continue heating in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until you achieve a smooth and melted texture.
3
Once melted, carefully fold in one or two of your chosen filling ingredients from the list below. Be mindful not to overwhelm the chocolate; the mixture should still hold together well.
4
Using a spoon, scoop the chocolate mixture into mini candy papers, forming small, charming bites.
5
For an elegant touch, sprinkle additional filling ingredients on top or drizzle with a contrasting colored chocolate in a whimsical zig-zag pattern.
6
Important: Ensure that your bowl, spoon, and workspace are completely dry; any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize, ruining your mixture.
