Question: Christmas Gifts Using White Chocolate?
October 3, 2005
I would like to know ways to use POUNDS of white chocolate chips that melted (by mistake) and now are a solid mass. Could it be remelted and molded into ornaments or gifts of some sort?
Thank you.

I love christmas candy made from white chocolate, melted, and mixed with lightly crushed ripple-type potato chips, and mixed nuts. I'm sorry I don't have the proportions, I just guess.

Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper, and let set. They keep for a long time, and would make a great xmas gift in a tin.

Melt some of the chocolate and add Chex cereal, peanuts, petzels, M & M's, and anything else you would like to add. Coat it. After it cools, break it apart and bag it up. Tie with a ribbon and give as gifts to teachers, neighbors, etc. I great snack item!

You could always freeze it then break it up with a hammer and use the chunks in baking just like you would use the chips.

You could make chocolate cookies and dip the top half or half side of your cookie. Great Halloween cookies are the chocolate cookies in shapes of ghosts and bats. Dip the top for the ghosts and dot eyes & dip wings of the bats.

Also you could make a no bake chocolate pudding pie and put the a spider web on top with your melted white chocolate. For other great idea try checking out

Buy a bag of large twisted pretzels and dip them in the melted chocolate. Be sure the chocolate does not get too hot. If it is too thick, thin it with a little vegetable shortening. Never try to thin it with liquid. Dip the pretzel, tap it lightly on the edge of the pan so the coating is rather thin. Lay it on waxed paper and sprinkle with cake candies before the chocolate gets cool. A plate of these makes a nice Christmas gift.
