Ingredients

• 8 ounces melting chocolate (such as Ghirardelli melting wafers)
• 16 ounces gumdrop hearts (any flavor will work, but we love cherry or cinnamon)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, melt the chocolate according to package directions.
2. Dip the gumdrops, one at a time, into the chocolate with a fork.
3. Rest the gumdrop on the tines of the fork and gently tap it against the side of the bowl to shake off any excess chocolate.
4. Carefully slide the gumdrop onto waxed paper to set.
