Easy (But Elegant) Chocolate Candy

Recipe #104941 | 11 min | 10 min prep | add private note

These are so easy to make that the kids can help me prepare them. It is just as easy to make a wide variety of these fancy morsels which allows you to set forth an impressive candy tray. Also makes an excellent gift. I prefer to work in small batches but the recipe can certainly be doubled or tripled.

SERVES 3 -4 , 12 -15 candies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Filling Ingredients Choose any combination to equal approximately 1/4 cup

  • coconut (regular or toasted)
  • chopped pecans
  • chopped walnuts
  • chopped peanuts
  • chopped almonds
  • chopped hazelnuts
  • chopped cashews
  • chopped macadamia nuts
  • toffee pieces
  • finely crushed pretzels
  • Rice Krispies
  • chopped dried fruit
  • crushed mint decorative candies
  • crushed chocolate sandwich style cookies

Directions

  1. 1
    Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe dish.
  2. 2
    Heat for 1 minute and stir.
  3. 3
    If needed, heat in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  4. 4
    Stir in one or two of the filling ingredients listed.
  5. 5
    The amount and combinations depends on personal taste but don’t add so much that the mixture doesn’t hold together.
  6. 6
    Spoon mixture into mini candy papers.
  7. 7
    Garnish with more the the Filling Ingredient (s) used or drizzle, in a contrasting chocolate, in a zig-zag pattern on top.
  8. 8
    TIPS: do not allow moisture to come in contact with the chocolate while it is melting or it will “bind” and become an unusable mess.
  9. 9
    Make sure your bowl and spoon are completely dry.

    These were really easy and fun to make! I melted some darker chocolate wafers with about 2 T. of peanut butter and they turned out really yummy. I topped those with pb chips. I also made dark chocolate with butter rum lifesavers, white chocolate with candy canes, and white chocolate with dried cherries. Thanks for the idea, Marg!

    I used the chocolate coating. We made the Rice Krispies,Pretzels, peanuts, and toffee bit. They were very good. We liked the Rice Krispies the best. Thanks for posting this recipe. I will be making these many many more times.
