Ingredients
- ½ cup nonpareils
- 1 cup Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Prepare the Sprinkles: Pour the nonpareils evenly into an 8 or 9-inch baking dish and set aside to create a colorful base for the chocolate.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the Ghirardelli dark chocolate melting wafers in a glass bowl and microwave for one minute. Stir thoroughly until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Pipe the Chocolate: Spoon the melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag and snip off a small corner to create a makeshift piping bag. Swirl circles of chocolate directly onto the bed of nonpareils, making the chocolate discs as large or small as you prefer.
- Chill the Candy: Carefully move the baking dish to the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set firmly.
- Remove and Clean: Once chilled, lift each chocolate piece off the sprinkles, gently knocking off any excess small drizzles of chocolate. Repeat the process with any remaining melted chocolate and sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Utilizing Ghirardelli melting wafers eliminates the need for tempering or adding oils, simplifying the chocolate melting process while ensuring great taste.
- Store the candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
