Candied cheese curds
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Glazed curd bars are easy to make, but the process takes time: the curd bars need to set well before being coated. For making glazed curd bars, I use store-bought low-fat (0%) curd cheese, not crumbly, but in solid blocks. By the way, you can add dried fruits or nuts to the curd mixture. The finished dessert can be served at the table.

Step 6
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, then add the butter. Take the frozen cheese curds out of the freezer and dip them into the chocolate glaze (I did it in two stages). You can try using a pastry brush. Place in the refrigerator for several hours (preferably overnight).

Step 7
The more carefully you make the cheese itself, the better the final result will look. Over time, it will be impossible to distinguish from store-bought ones!
