As another option, you can simply melt the chocolate according to the directions on its package, which usually includes a microwave option. The key is the quality of chocolate\u2026get the highest quality chocolate that you can afford. You (and your \u201cgifted\u201d ones) deserve it!<\/p>\n<p>2. Remove the chocolate from the heat. Hold the candy cane by the edge and dip it into the chocolate. Gently shake off any excess chocolate. (I sometimes use a butter knife to smooth the chocolate on the candy cane so that the parts that I want covered are smoothly covered.)<\/p>\n<p>3. Place the dipped candy cane on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Set aside the chocolate covered candy canes until the chocolate is set \u2013 about 30 minutes up to an hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Variations:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-You can dip fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, cherries, apples), bacon, nuts, marshmallows, Oreos, coffee beans and more.<br>\n-Instead of milk chocolate, you can use white chocolate or dark chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>-Feel free to add toppings.
