Q: How long do they last?
A: Keep in the fridge and eat in 1–2 days for best taste.

Q: Can I make them ahead of time?
A: You can make them a day ahead. Keep in a cool place or fridge. Do not stack them.

Q: Can I use candy melts?
A: Yes. Candy melts work and set fast, but they may taste a bit sweet.

Q: How do I stop the chocolate from cracking?
A: Do not cool them too fast. Let them set at a steady cool room or in the fridge for just 10–15 minutes.
