Decorating
Melt the chocolate. Heat for 30 sec. at 50% power. Stir well. Even if nothing looks melted, stir the wafers. Continue to heat at 30 second increments, always 50% power, until chocolate melted. Stir well between each heating cycle. Feel free to stir and let it sit a minute or so, then stir even more.
After the chocolate is mostly melted, dump in another handful of wafers. Stir them in, using the heat already in the chocolate and bowl to melt them. Keep stirring…they will melt. If necessary, heat 10 seconds at 50% power.
Remove the cake pops from the fridge and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
