MemberEvery Christmas I make buckeyes (chocolate covered peanut butter balls) and I use parafin cooking wax to make the chocolate smooth and so it will form to the peanut butter. I use 1/4th a bar with 4 bars of chocolate I think, just enough so the texture of the chocolate is smooth. It doesn’t taste like wax either and it’s fine to eat.
Memberdon’t use melts-use chocolate chips with some butter. you can keep reheating that via micro or double boiler.
MemberI failed at trying to make cake balls for my engagement BBQ. The chocolate was not going on smoothly at all and it was just a disaster. I decided to drizzle the chocolate over the cake balls. It was delicious. J also preferred it that way. Said the chocolate all over was too overpowering.
MemberYeah, youre supposed to use shortening to smoothen the chocolate. I also just use the melting chocolate trays that go in the microwave. so easy!
