How To Make Dipped Sugar Wafers

1. Melt the candy melts in a microwave until completely smooth and melted.
2. Dip each sugar wafer into the melted chocolate. Afterward, place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
3. Sprinkle each chocolate coated wafer with your favorite Valentine’s Day sprinkles.
4. Chill the baking sheet of wafers in the refrigerator or set them out at room temperature. Let them set until the chocolate has hardened.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Should I Store These Dipped Sugar Wafers?

Simply place them in an airtight container with parchment paper separating the layers of wafers. This will help prevent them from melting or sticking together. Enjoy them for up to a week!

Why Won’t The Sprinkles Stick To The Dipped Wafers?

There’s a good chance the chocolate started to set before you were able to sprinkle them. It’s important to work quickly when dipping and adding sprinkles.

If you wait too long to add the sprinkles they will have a harder time adhering to the melted chocolate.

Can I Make A Chocolate Variation To This Recipe?

Of course, that’s the perfect variation for chocolate lovers! Simply grab a package of chocolate sugar wafers and a bag of milk chocolate candy melts. Then just follow the same directions for this recipe!
