Do not use white chocolate chips for this recipe as they contain stabilizers that make smooth melting difficult.

It is very important to use low heat when melting the coating ingredients and to keep the mixture moving.
03 -
Add the extracts at the beginning of the melting process to prevent the mixture from seizing.
