Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 oz White Chocolate Wafers/Melts/Bark
Equipment
- Sandwich size plastic baggie
- Parchment paper
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Cookie sheet
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to create a non-stick surface for shaping the wishbones and for the chocolate to set.
- Melt the chocolate: Place the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly each time until fully melted and smooth without any lumps.
- Prepare the piping bag: Spoon the melted chocolate into the corner of a sandwich-sized plastic baggie. Snip off just a small tip of the corner to create a fine opening for piping.
- Shape the wishbones (left side): Begin at the bottom of the wishbone by squeezing out a small oval shape. Without lifting the bag, continue piping to the left side upward in a half-heart shape. When reaching the desired size at the top, squeeze out a little extra to form another small oval.
- Shape the wishbones (right side): Lift the baggie off and return to the bottom oval. Pipe the right side of the wishbone mirroring the left side’s shape to complete the design.
- Set the chocolate: Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 3-5 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve or store: Once hardened, the chocolate wishbones are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness. One 12 oz bag of melts yields approximately 2½ dozen wishbones.
Notes
- Make sure not to cut too large of a hole in the baggie to maintain control over the piping details.
- If the chocolate begins to harden while piping, briefly reheat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the wishbones after setting.
- These wishbones can be decorated with edible glitter or colored sugar before setting for a festive look.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid melting or discoloration.
