Directions Prepare
your cookie cutters by washing them and drying them completely. Set
aside. Cut wax paper into pieces at least 2” larger all around than
the cookie cutters, set aside. Melt
the candy wafers in the microwave oven according to the directions. The
easiest way to melt the candy wafers is to use the Wilton Disposable
Decorator bags. Place the candy wafers into the bag and leave the bag
open. Place the bags upright inside of a glass bowl. Microwave until
chocolate is melted. Chocolate will stay warm and liquefied longer than
if you melt the candy in the bowl directly. Place
your cookie cutter onto the wax paper with the sharp edge down and place
on a cookie sheet or similar. Cut off the tip of the decorator bag with
the melted chocolate. Gather the open end of the bag and begin to
squeeze out a layer of chocolate inside of the cookie cutter. Try not to
move the cookie cutter. You
want to fill the cookie cutter only about half way. You can layer
flavors of the candy melts. Use a small spoon or knife to smooth out the
chocolate. Add candy sprinkles to the top layer for a festive touch. The
bunny face was created by separating the candy sprinkles and using to
make face details. The ducky was done in the yellow lemon flavor and the
details were added with melted chocolate piped out through a small hole
at the decorator bag tip. Place
the filled cookie cutters into the refrigerator for about an hour to
harden the chocolate. You can either pop out the candy piece from the
cookie cutter or leave them in. Bag candy piece in a clear treat bag and
tie with a ribbon. Tuck your treats into an Easter basket and share them
with family and friends. Don’t
forget to make some for yourself!
