Can someone tell me the best way to go about making these? I can see how to get the white shirt, and the dark coat, but what do you use to make the bow tie & buttons?

Hi, deb12g: I use a #1 round tube. I just bend back the tube (so the choc doesn't leak out) as I go from piece to piece. They're really cute and people are so impressed with them.

I used wilton candy melts becasue I was just looking for something easy, but you could use a different coating.

I dipped first in white chocolate and let them set. Then I dipped in dark on an angle each side. I piped on the bow tie and buttons with hte candy melts that I put into a parchment triangle - no tip, tight hole (that is how I do all of my chocolate transfers) If it hardens you can throw it back into the microwave if needed.

They look terrifc! Good Idea using the parchment paper so they can go back in the micro. Thanks.
