OK, I am making homemade candy to give away as Christmas gifts. I am making chocolate dipped spoons, chocolate covered coffee beans, and some other chocolate candy.

My question is do y'all know how far ahead of time I can make these. I don't want the chocolate to get that ungle white color that it gets from sitting to long. I will be wrapping them in celephane, which brings me to another question. Where can I buy celephane, either flat sheets or bags?

Thanks y'all
Connie

HI! Sounds yummy! The choclate should be fine to make now and wrap up, just keep it in a cool place not refridgerated but cool. You can find the wrappers at place like michaels or joann's or AC moore, what ever your local craft store is that carries wilton stuff. I actually have seen them in my grocery store in the bulk section near the wilton melting chocolates too. icon_biggrin.gif

The white color is the cocoa butter separating out when it gets too hot...
