The first tip is that when you use the candy melts they have a perfect time which it states on the packet for melting.

If you melt them too much they actually get thicker!

You can thin out the candy melts – all you need to do is add 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening (white flora or Trex in the UK) to the mix. Other fats won’t work!

The other tip we have is that if you try and harden the cookies in the fridge they will go soft the same as storing them there. Instead, place in an airtight container in a cool dark place like a kitchen cupboard.
