- If you don't have a candy mold, you can use a mini muffin tin or even an ice cube tray. Just be sure to line the mold with parchment paper or plastic wrap before pouring in the chocolate mixture.
- To add a touch of extra flavor, you can add a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted chocolate.
- Once the candies have set, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
