FAQs
Yes, otherwise your chocolate will be too thick. It helps thin out the chocolate to help it spread evenly over the cereal treats.
Yes, you can, but they are much better the day they are made. If you want to freeze them, you will just need to place them in the freezer for one hour. Then remove them from the freezer and take the treats out of the pan, wrap with two layers of plastic wrap, then a layer of foil. They will last for up to 6 weeks in the freezer.
That’s okay! Buy a tube of red icing and draw hearts.
Storage Instructions
It’s best to store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will last for up to three days out on the counter before they start getting stale.
