Ingredients
12-ounceWilton's red candy melts chocolates
Candy flavoring of choiceoptional, oil-based flavoring only
Instructions
Place Wilton's Melts red candy in a microwave-safe container.
Microwave at 50% power for up to 1 minute.
Remove from microwave and stir until melted. (If needed, microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until completely melted.)
Immediately pour Melts into silicone molds. Allow to set and harden for 10-20 minutes. (The amount of time will depend on how big you make your soaps.)
Prepare the candy stampers by inserting the letters for LIFEBUOY and/or SOAP. IMPORTANT: You need to insert your word backwards so the word is the correct way when it's stamped onto the candies.
Before the melts completely set, carefully remove them from the silicone molds. GENTLY press the stamper words onto the soaps. DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FORCE OR YOU WILL BREAK THE CANDIES.
Set aside to harden completely.
Use the edible Christmas Story Lifebuoy soaps in dishes for a Christmas Story theme party or in holiday favor bags.
Notes
The number of small bite-sized soaps you get will depend on how big your silicone molds are. You may get more or less than the 12 listed here.IMPORTANT: To make the red Lifebuoy soaps like in The Christmas Story movie, you'll also need rectangle silicone molds at least 2 inches and also the candy letter stampers.
