Roll the dough into small balls about ¾ inch (2 cm) in diameter, or get creative and mold mini fruits, animals, hearts, or figurines.

Arrange the candies on a parchment-lined tray and let them rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving or packaging.
💡 Chef's Tip
Lightly dust your hands with powdered milk while shaping to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
