Delicious chocolate buttons with nonpareil candy coated bottoms! These Chocolate Nonpareils are easy to make and perfect to use for a gift!
Servings: 30 1" candies
Ingredients
- 8 ounces good quality semi-sweet chocolate see note
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon good quality vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup nonpareils
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour nonpareils over parchment paper.
- Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Heat at 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring well after each increment. Continue heating/stirring until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Once smooth, stir in vanilla extract.
- Place chocolate in a pastry bag and cut tip off end of bag. Pipe ~1" sized rounds on top of nonpareils. Let sit for at least 1 hour to harden. You may also move the baking sheet to the freezer to allow chocolate to harden more quickly.
Notes
I use Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate. However, you could also use milk or dark chocolate, or another brand of chocolate.
