What can I add to chocolate to make it less melty?!
I'm trying to make chocolate covered candies, and I'm having trouble getting the chocolate to stop melting everywhere! I have even put it in the fridge to let it 'set!.' Help!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Take canning (parafin) wax and shave a little off (2 tablespoons) with a cheese grater!. Let it melt into the chocolate!. The chocolate will set up easier and stay firmer!. You can buy the wax at the grocery store next to the canning supplies!. It's pretty cheap too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
