Notes
Serve on a nice platter with fun decorations like gold chocolate coins and small shamrocks.
Enjoy these cookies with a traditional Irish Coffee, an adult beverage.
melting chocolate
- I used white chocolate chips, melting candy wafers will work fine too. When melting chocolate over simmering water, be careful not to get any water in your chocolate or it will seize and not be useable.
- You can add a couple of drops of vegetable oil to add some gloss and shine to your chocolate.
- If you color white melting wafers, be sure to use the right gel coloring product your chocolate wafers need. Sometimes regular food coloring can seize the chocolate.
