Tips and Tricks
If you want to add a bit of flavor to your hard chocolate coating, you can add a few drops of peppermint extract, orange extract, or any other flavor extract to the melted chocolate. You can also tint the chocolate with food coloring for a colorful coating.
If you want a really smooth and glossy finish, you can heat the chocolate coating a bit before dipping your item. This will help the coating to spread evenly and give it a professional-looking finish.
If you want an even thicker coating, you can add a few tablespoons of melted butter to the melted chocolate. This will help to thicken the coating and give it an extra crunchy texture.
Storage
Your hard chocolate coating will stay fresh for up to a week if stored at room temperature. If you want to store it for longer, you can place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Be sure to bring the coating back to room temperature before using it.
