Directions
Step One: Melt the White Chocolate
MiCROWAVE OVEN
Place 1/2 the chips into a microwave safe bowl. Place in the microwave on medium for 15 seconds. Remove and stir. Repeat until the white chocolate is melted. If you are using an oil based flavoring. Stir it in now.
HOW TO MELT WHITE CHOCOLATE ON A STOVETOP
Fit a heatsafe bowl on top of a saucepan. There should be at least 2 inches of space between the bottom of the bowl and the bottom of the pot. Remove the bowl and fill the pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Drop the temperature to the lowest heat once the water boils. Dry the bowl completely and pour the white chocolate chips or wafers in. Place the bowl carefully over the water. (The bottom of the bowl should not touch the water!) Use a rubber spatula to melt the chocolate. If you are using a flavoring oil. Stir it in now.
Tips For Melting White Chocolate
1. Avoid letting any water get into the white chocolate. Make sure the bowl is dry and pay attention to the steam if you are using a double boiler. Any water causes the chocolate to seize.
2. Keep an eye on the chocolate. It will burn quickly!
3. Avoid using liquid flavoring. It will cause the white chocolate to seize. Use a flavoring oil instead. Note! A little goes a long way.
Step Two: Fill The Mold/s
Using a spoon, fill the mold wells with the melted white chocolate to the top. It is okay to overfill a tiny bit. Run an offset spatula or the back of a knife across the mold to remove and even out overfilled wells. Place any leftover white chocolate back into the melting pot. Gently bounce the mold on the countertop to remove air bubbles. Place the mold into the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
NOTE! The bowl in the photo was for the photograph. 😉 I filled the wells directly from the heated bowl.
Step Three: Remove the White Chocolate Candy Seashells
Using your fingers, gently press the molds without denting. The white chocolate candy will pop out easily.
Step Four: Repeat
Repeat steps one through three with the rest of the white chocolate.
Step Five: Shimmer Time
Using the shimmer brush and the shimmer powder, brush on the sparkle!
Step Six: Fill The Bags
Fill the bags with five or six Shimmering White Chocolate Seashells. Tie on a ribbon.
There you have it! A lovely party favor or take-away gift your guests witl love.
