Step 3: Combine Mix-Ins
- Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from heat.
- Quickly fold in your chosen mix-ins. You can add all or just a selection depending on your taste and desired texture.
- Make sure the chocolate evenly coats each ingredient to help them stick together.
Step 4: Shape the Candies
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- For a more uniform look, gently press the tops to flatten slightly.
- If you want, sprinkle extra toppings on top for decoration—like a few coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or a mini candy piece.
Step 5: Chill and Set
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30–45 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Once set, gently lift the candies off the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container.
Tips for Perfect Ragtag Candies
- Experiment with flavors: Don’t be afraid to mix sweet, salty, and nutty elements. Dark chocolate with pretzels and sea salt is a classic favorite.
- Uniform size: Use a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon to make candies even in size for consistent setting and presentation.
- Storage: These candies can last up to two weeks at room temperature in an airtight container, or up to a month if refrigerated.
