Why would I want to use welting wafers, instead of other kinds of chocolate?

Chocolate wafers,  melting wafers, candy melts, or melting chocolate – are disks of chocolate that are used as a coating on cookies, fruit, ice cream, candy, molded candy and desserts.  Wafers are compound chocolate, with vegetable oil in place of the cocoa butter. As a result, they are easy to melt and mold.

You will find melting wafers easier to use.   Additionally they offer consistent candy making and baking results with no tempering required.  Lastly you will love the smooth-as-silk texture and lustrous sheen this type of chocolate brings to dessert.

Nostalgic Chocolate Patties with Chipotle

• Maintain the dipping chocolate at a low temperature, and move quickly while dipping the wafers in the chocolate.  Wipe off excess chocolate on the side of the pan, so the chocolate will not puddle
• Keep your nostalgic chocolate patties cool.  They can be stored in the freezer to enjoy in the future
• You can decorate the patties with colored sugar, or sprinkles before the chocolate hardens
• Make 2 batches, and you can use the entire can of sweetened condensed milk.  Make 1 batch spiced with our smokin’ hot chipotle, and make the 2nd batch with traditional Peppermint (see below)
• Create Hot Damn Patties for beautiful homemade gifts

Mix it Up:

Make traditional Peppermint patties by leaving out the Chipotle spice and using 1  1/2 teaspoons of Peppermint extract instead.  Make old-fashioned Peppermint Patties!
