Step 1

Prepare treats to be dipped, if necessary. Most fruits should be washed and dried before dipping. If using pieces of bananas or apples, dip them first in lemon juice to prevent discoloration and allow to dry. Melt desired amount of candy and place in bowl.

Step 2

Hold strawberries and cherries by stems to dip in candy. For other fruit, pretzels and small cookies, use Candy Dipping Set.

Step 3

Place treats on cookie sheet covered with waxed or parchment paper. Refrigerate until firm.

Adding Toppings
It's easy to accent your dipped candy with a fun topping. Immediately after dipping, roll the candy in your favorite topping and refrigerate following directions above. Chopped nuts, Wilton sprinkles and nonpareils, shredded coconut or cocoa powder are delicious choices.
