Notes

When working with melted chocolate or candy melts, stir frequently to prevent burning. If using dry ice, handle with gloves and never ingest. Store treats in airtight containers at room temperature or in the refrigerator, depending on the ingredients. Get creative with decorations and involve kids in the process!
