I wanted to make some seashell candies as favors for our guests. Here are some of the chocolate melts I used...all ready in their bag to go into the microwave.
Here are the candies after I made them.
Waiting to be bagged...
Done with another DIY project. It was fun :-) Getting more and more excited for our beach wedding!!
I saw these at Michaels and was thinking about doing them. Does it end up being expensive? How many chocolates (or trays) could you make with one bag of chocolate?
@ms.guitar. The swirls weren't too difficult to do. I used a tooth pick and just kinda played around with the first batch to see how to get the effect I wanted. It was pretty easy after that
@amyanne02 It's not too expensive. I got a pack of the favor tulle circles from the dollar store. There are 15 in a pack for a $1.00. The candy mold was $2.00 at michaels. It has 11 cavaties to fill in 1 mold. The melting chocolate bags i think were $4.00 and the Candy I bought in Bulk at Wegmans came out to be $10.00. The favor tags i got on sale cheap and I used left over rafia from another project to tie them. I put 6 pieces of chocolate in 1 tulle circle.
these are super pretty! i am using the same candy chips but for some reason cannot get them so be as shiny as yours. Did you put anything else in besides the candy melts? Thanks!
I made these about two and a half months before our wedding. I read that if you put chocolate in a closed container at room tempature, the chocolate lasts about 8 months. Don't put chocolate in the freezer because it will change the taste and apperance.

posted by ButterflyDoll 1 year agoI love these! I'm making them for our wedding, using "musical" shapes. Only I'm really nervous about it. Were the swirls hard to make?

posted by ButterflyDoll 1 year agoI went to Michaels today (we dont have a Wegmans) such a price difference between Canada and the US.
for one tray was $4.00, and each bag of chocolate was $4.00
I may have to make a trip down to the states.
