Step 7Dipping time!!
Now, here's where you get to dip them. The double broiler will keep the chocolate warm so you can turn the heat off.
Tear off a piece of wax paper for your masterpieces to go on. I put the wax paper on a cooling rack, but you could also put it on the counter. The cooling rack works wonders!
You can dip several candies at a time but the warm chocolate may "melt" the pieces. This will lead to a mess which, especially if you decided to make the candy balls, can add a whole new level of fun.
I do one candy at a time. There are special dipping forks that work well; I used a fork and a wooden skewer. Not flashy, but it worked fine. You could also use chopsticks or a toothpick.
CAUTION!! The first ones may be ugly. As head chef you are required to eat the ugly ones to hide any illusion of imperfection. (Or you could enlist the spouse or child in favor at the moment. Your choice.)
Dip the candy in the chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip off. Is there such a thing a excess chocolate? You get two choices on this one. Either let it drip off in the bowl or it will drip off on the way to the waxed paper. (Read: Take your time now and avoid more cleanup later OR hurry now and scrub chocolate off your work surface.)
For you choco-holics... don't worry, I won't tell... you can dip the candy again after it has hardened in order to add more chocolate. For the true addicts, you can even do this three or more times, but I'm not responsible for what happens.
After you have dipped them to your heart's content, slide the piece onto the wax paper and let cool. Note: The paraffin will help it harden faster and also make them more shiny!
Store in an air tight container and either leave them out or refrigerate them. Your choice, again. Enjoy!
CAUTION: Excessive testing of your candy may result in... Well, we know what that will do.

My wife and I just put the rolls in the freezer, waiting 30 minutes. My wife likes Mounds I like Almond Joy. So we are going to drop a few almonds on some. The stuff in the bowl tasted like Mounds.
We may share some with our neighbors. when done. Also, this may be good around Christmas time to take to our neighbors.
Thanks, good jobReply
