Recipe Questions & Answers

Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Yes, substituting half or all of the white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate adds a richer flavor profile.

How long does it take for the confection to set?

It typically sets at room temperature within an hour or can be chilled in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up faster.

Are there any tips for pressing toppings evenly?

Use clean hands or a spatula to gently press the gummy bears, candy canes, and marshmallows into the melted chocolate for better adhesion.

Can I add other toppings besides sprinkles?

Absolutely! Nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut complement the existing flavors and textures well.

How should I store leftovers to maintain freshness?

Keep the confection in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to preserve texture and flavor.
