Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why do I need to chill the candy in between?
You chill it so the filling gets firm. This way, cutting and dipping in chocolate becomes much easier without any mess.
- → Can I switch up the chocolate types?
Definitely! Just stick with high-quality chocolate brands available in France, like Valrhona, to ensure smooth melting and awesome flavor.
- → How long can I store these treats?
If kept in the freezer, they'll be good for up to a month! Always serve them chilled for the freshest taste.
- → Can I shape them into round candies?
Sure thing! Just scoop out spoonfuls onto baking paper instead of using a pan. Freeze, then coat with chocolate. Voilà!
- → Why does the mixture feel chunky when I mix in Cool Whip?
Totally normal! Keep mixing it gently until everything is blended. The bits actually give the candy a nice texture in the end.
