Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Bend Candy
To create a curvy effect on the melted candy, use a metal spatula to carefully remove melted candy from parchment while still warm and pliable. Place over the handle of a wooden spoon or any other object that will bend the candy. Cool completely before using to decorate cake.
Substitute
For variety, prepare using green or orange starlight mints.
How to Melt Chocolate
For a quick and foolproof method, melt chocolate as directed in the "Easy Microwave Melting" directions on package.
