anyone make candy?

Last night I made peanut butter cups and mounds bars. I have a question though...

If I refrigerated them is the chocolate now set? or will it be melty if I let it go back to room temperature? I mean I know it won't melt off, but I can pick up chocolate chips for a bit before the chocolate comes off in my hand. Or should I keep them in the fridge?

It really depends on the temp inside your home, and how you prefer the texture of the candy you eat.

did you add anything to the chocolate before you dipped your candies? If you added any kind of oil or butter, the chocolate will be more melty. Depending on how much you added, you may be able to have them at room temp and they'll just melt a little faster in your fingers, or you may not be able to pick them up at all. If all you did was melt chocolate chips, dip your candies and refrigerate, you should be good to go as far as the chocolate melting. I don't know how your other ingredients stand up to room temp holding though. I typically refrigerate candy just to be sure it stays good.
