Directions:Once the chocolate is set you can serve or put in an airtight container. I put the pans in the freezer and then move the frozen chocolates into ziplock bags with parchment paper between layers and store them in the freezer. |

Notes: These are a favorite Christmas treat. I make them ahead and freeze them so I can pull them out
