The miniature candy is so easy to make. To be honest, not all homemade candy needs to have a candy thermometer either. Sometimes recipes can be much easier than what you would imagine.

This recipe is even one step better, you do not need to use a stove top. This can be melted in the microwave. This is another one of those treats that only needs three ingredients.

This recipe will make the perfect bite sized candy bars. With a short freezing time, these miniature candy bars can be done with the help of children if they want.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use different colors of melting candy or morsels?

If you want to make a variety of colors, feel free to do so. There are red melts, green melts and many other colors. The centers can be different colors by adding a drop or two of food coloring.

How should I store these?

These would be best if kept in the refrigerator until ready to serve. They can sit for short amounts of time on the counter or in boxes as you pass them out for gifts.

How long do these last?

These little candies can be frozen for 30 days. In the refrigerator, I cannot really answer, ours never last long enough to give an accurate answer.
