How to make it
- For chocolate coating:
- 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 1 1/2 cakes paraffin wax
- Melt chocolate and paraffin wax in a double boiler stirring frequently.
- When melted, use toothpicks to dip nougat balls in wax. Place on waxed paper to dry.
- You’ll have coating left over after all the nougat balls are dipped. If you have pretzels on hand, you can give them a chocolate coating, too. Paraffin wax helps the chocolate stay nice and liquid which makes coating easier. After dipping, it makes the chocolate harden faster and keeps it from melting in your hands.
