The result is a smooth, even coating suitable for dipping and drizzling.

How should I melt and use these melting wafers for best results?

Use short microwave bursts or a gentle double boiler to melt the wafers, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Maintain a warm working temperature and cool surfaces to encourage rapid setting. For dipping, dry and chill items beforehand so the coating adheres and finishes with a clean shine.

• Microwave: 15–20 second intervals, stir between bursts.
• Double boiler: low steam, stir until smooth and fluid.
• Work on chilled, dry foods for crisp, glossy coverage.
