Why do we enjoy these tasty treats so much? Since these interesting little white chocolate sugar wafers are fantastic in oh-so-many manners. They're:
- Easy - Can you melt chocolate in the microwave & sprinkle some sprinkles? Then you've got this.
- Can be made with last second - They require basically no time to prepare yourself, and basically no opportunity to place.
- Festive - What's more merry than a fun combination of Christmas sprinkles?
- Adorable - A cute small 3-bite size. And ... sprinkles.
- Kid-friendly - Children love them! And if you are so inclined, kids can create them too. Our 9-year-old daughter piled up about 20 of them by herself in no-time apartment.
- Crowd enjoyable - Adored by the kids and grown-ups, alike. A platter of these infants disappears in a flash.
So to make a batch of these Christmas White Chocolate-Dipped Sugar Wafers, begin to melt some white chocolate.
Use a bundle of white candy melts or white bark coat. Melt it with a tiny little shortening in the microwave per the package instructions (typically in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each time).
Pick a small deep bowl plus a tall slim microwave-safe container to melt the white chocolate. These container contours make it less difficult to get decent coverage when trimming the sugar wafers in.
Dip 3/4 of the sugar wafer cookie from the candy coating, then let the rest of the icing drip back into the container. I very gently shake the glucose wafer a few times to help the excess drop and produce a thin fluffy white chocolate coating.
Since you dip more sugar wafers and the amount of melted white chocolate at the container gets less and less, tip the container slightly as you dip to help get much better protection up the glucose wafer.
Immediately sprinkle each sugar wafer with sprinkles whereas the chocolate coat is still moist, and set it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper or aluminum foil.
I find it simplest to scatter the sprinkles over a plate with just a small lip to the border or well in the middle. That way, sprinkles aren't bouncing off throughout your house - that the plate catches at least all the spillover.
When the dipped sugar wafers are put on wax paper or aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, then allow the wafers stand to allow the chocolate coating to prepare. The chocolate will set in a couple of minutes.
And that's all there's to whipping up a number of these entertaining little treats!
Therefore, if you are looking for a fun and festive Christmas treat to celebrate your holidays, I recommend these Christmas White Chocolate-Dipped Sugar Wafers. Whether is for a Christmas day cookie, Christmas cookie exchange, or entertaining Christmas Eve activity -- these simple treats are perfect.
