Do not allow any moisture to come into contact with your melted chocolate. This will make your chocolate seize when melted. This mean you should dry utensils for stirring, use a dry bowl, and so on.
Avoid the temptation to try and speed up your chocolate melting with high heat. Low and slow is the way to go. Just follow the instructions on your packaging and you should be OK.
You can use specific melting chocolate or baker’s bars rather than chocolate chips for chocolate that will melt very easily. This ensures a smoother consistency.
If you want to color your chocolate, all you need to do is add four drops of an oil-based food coloring to melted white chocolate. Stir the melted chocolate until it is uniform in color. You need to use an oil based food coloring to make sure your chocolate doesn’t seize.
The best time to decorate your truffles with sprinkles or crushed cookie bits is right after they have been dipped in melted chocolate.
Storage: your truffles will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks! You could also try freezing them. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to three months.
