Merckens Chocolate Wafers (for making it yourself)

Chocolate wafers are the heart, sole, and origin of all creative chocolates (regardless of who makes them). And now you too can make your own chocolates. Each wafer is 1" in diameter and comes in an assortment of colors and flavors:

Color		Flavor
Black		Semi-Sweet Chocolate
Brown		Milk Chocolate
Tan		Peanut Butter
White		White Chocolate

*NOTE: To see if other colors (blue, light green, mint, etc.) are in stock, email us with your request.

How do you prepare your chocolate?

Pour wafers into 2-3" deep dish and set aside. Take an electric deep dish frying pan (or large frying pan to be used on a stove top), add 1-2" of water and set the pan to low heat. Place dish of wafers into water and stir until melted.  

PLEASE NOTE:  It is very important that the water never boils.  If the water gets too hot the chocolate will pass the melting stage and thicken instead of liquefying. 

Uses?

Chocolate Lollipops: pour melted chocolate into plastic mold and place in refrigerator until hard.
Chocolate Covered Cherries/Strawberries/Bananas: dip fruit into melted chocolate and place on waxed cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet into refrigerator until hard.
Pastries: weave melted chocolate into cake batter right before putting into oven or on top of frosting.
Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies: chop up un-melted wafers into chips and add to cookie batter instead of store bought chocolate chips.
Nut Clusters:  melt 1/2 lb semi-sweet chocolate.  Add 2 cups of peanuts and stir.  Drop spoonfuls onto wax paper lined cookie sheet.  Place in refrigerator until firm.
Peanut Crispies:  Melt 1 lb milk chocolate, stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter until well blended.  Add 4 cups rice crispies and stir.  Spoon onto wax paper lined cookie sheet and let harden at room temperature.

SNACKS: Try the wafers straight! They make excellent snacks.
