Line tray with wax paper. In medium microwave-safe bowl, place

additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, just until
chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Immediately add

onto prepared tray or into paper candy cups; let stand until firm. If
necessary, cover and refrigerate until firm. Store in tightly covered
container in refrigerator. About 2 dozen candies.
