2 easy ways to decorate with melted chocolate:
1. Add melted chocolate to plastic squeeze bottles for an easy, tidy way to add drizzles or designs to cookies, candy, apples, or cakes. To keep the chocolate melted for an extended time, set the squeeze bottles in a jar of hot water, and place the jar in a slow cooker water bath as described above. The jars keep the squeeze bottles from tipping over. A benefit of this method is that you don’t have to worry about water getting inside these squeeze bottles as you pull them in and out of the slow cooker.

2. Use a Decorating Pen to easily add chocolate drizzles and decorations. Similar to the squeeze bottles above, you can be precise and tidy with this. What I love the most about this pen is how easy it is to fill. Put the pen tip in a jar of melted chocolate (kept warm in the slow cooker), and pull the end of the rod; the chocolate gets sucked up into the tube. All you do is squeeze to write and drizzle with it. This is so much easier and tidier than using pastry bags. It doesn’t hold a lot, but it’s so easy to return to the jar of melted chocolate and refill it, as needed. Clean up is a breeze, too– disassemble it and put it in the dishwasher. I love this gizmo.

Now back to my holiday baking. And dipping. And drizzling. Those tasks just got considerably easier.
Make it a Yummy day!
