Just made this. Quite yummy. I didn't use as much chocolate as suggested so the chips are visible here and there. I put them in mini cupcake papers as suggested in another review. Recipe made 24. One thing I find when using white chocolate is when it melts it is quite thick. Some of my chocolate seized so I added a teaspoon of boiling water and stirred vigorously and continued to add a teaspoon of boiling water until the chocolate was useable again. Has anyone added water or a little bit of oil (canola) to make the chocolate thinner so it would coat the chips more evenly?<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-09-15","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Becky676"},"reviewBody":"

I have made this several times and have got the 3 dozen each time.
