Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 oz White Chocolate Wafers, Melts, or Bark
- Parchment Paper (for lining the baking sheet)
- Sandwich Size Plastic Baggie (for piping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Setup: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chocolate wishbones from sticking after piping.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the white chocolate wafers or melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-30 second increments, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Fill the Piping Bag: Spoon the melted chocolate into the corner of a sandwich-sized plastic baggie. Snip off a very small tip of the corner to create a piping opening, ensuring the hole isn’t too large for precision.
- Pipe the Wishbone Shape – Left Side: Starting at the bottom, gently squeeze the bag to create a small oval shape to form the base of the wishbone. Without lifting the bag, pipe the left side by curving upward and outward as if creating half of a heart. When you reach the desired height, pipe another small oval to complete the top left of the wishbone, squeezing a little extra chocolate to hold the shape.
- Pipe the Wishbone Shape – Right Side: Lift the bag off briefly, then return to the bottom oval and pipe a mirror image of the left side to complete the wishbone shape.
- Set the Wishbones: Transfer the cookie sheet to the refrigerator and chill for 3-5 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Serve or Store: Once set, gently peel the wishbones off the parchment paper and enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container for later use. One 12 oz bag of melts yields approximately 24-30 wishbones.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate melts for smooth, glossy results.
- A very small tip cut on the baggie ensures better control while piping.
- Chilling in the fridge speeds up the setting process and helps keep the shapes intact.
- These wishbones make excellent cake toppers, party favors, or edible decorations.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting or blooming.
