Do you have a candy making tip?

We all have our "secrets". If you have one for making chocolate covered candy, please feel free to share. You can do it anonymously if your family will get upset. Do a good deed for the rest of us cooks out there. Thanks in advance.

Sharing one last memory: My mom used to keep the cherries we made in a cardboard shoe box in the refrigerator; she would line it with waxed paper and would also put it between the layers of candy. I remember sneaking into the kitchen and opening the fridge to get into that shoe box to dig around the waxed paper sheets for that wonderful candy. One would have to be really careful not to make too much noise rustling thru the paper so you wouldn't get caught sneaking a piece of candy. More often than not, the box would only have waxed paper left in it long before Christmas Eve arrived. Santa was just left with cookies.
