Tips
For added crispness, preheat oven to 350⁰F. Place empty shells on a baking sheet and bake for 3-5 minutes. Cool and fill.
The shells can be dipped in the candy melts up to 2 weeks in advance and once hard, can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature. Fill up to 2 hours before serving.
Candy melts and sprinkles are available in most craft stores and bakery supply stores.
