I like to decorate my enrobed bon bons with gold leaf; however, I find that I have a hard time controlling it. I have tried using a pairing knife as well as tweezers. It works, but it certainly does not work 100 percent of the time. I use the sheets and it can sometimes lead to a mess. Has anyone ever tried the petals? I would love to get some tips on how to handle this delicate product. Thanks!

I use small paintbrushes. You can pick up a bit of gold leaf on the brush and dab it on. I think it works reasonably well although I still think gold leaf can be hard to control! Andrea

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
