  • Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the chocolate: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, or it may burn and become unusable.
  • Dip the candy canes in the chocolate: Hold the candy canes by the top and dip them into the melted chocolate. Make sure to coat them evenly.
  • Place the candy canes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet: Allow the chocolate to set completely before moving the candy canes.
  • Decorate the candy canes with sprinkles, nuts, or other toppings: Get creative and have fun with your decorations!
