                This recipe is great if you're looking for an easy-to-make candy that is both attractive and tasty.  Be careful not to wait too long to put the nonpareils on or they will not stick.  I found that 20 minutes was too long, for I ended up with a tray of half-covered chocolates.

                To get perfectly covered chocolate each time, cover a baking sheet with a layer of the nonpareils.  Place melted choclate into a pastry bag or ziploc bac bag to pipe out the size you want each time!  Enjoy!

                Beautiful candy, easy recipe and so easy-definitely wait the 20 minutes the nonpareils will stick like magic-if you rush and put the nonpareils on early the chocolate will spread!
