Wet chocolate is spread very thinly with an offset spatula or piped onto the patterned side of the transfer, after setting the design transfers to the chocolate. McCall's Easymelts which is a compound chocolate or pure chocolate can be used. Use different tools such as a piping bag and tips or metal cutters to make finished designs.

Troubleshooting
Poor transfer of the choco design can be caused by several things:
Chocolate is too cool - If the chocolate is too cool it will be unable to melt and bond with the cocoa butter. For best results the chocolate should be close to 90 degrees F
Peeling the backing too soon - Peeling the backing sheet before the chocolate is fully hardened may cause a poor bond with the transfer sheet design. If you don't rush this step this should never be a problem.
Trapped air - Transfers will not transfer properly if they do not make contact with the chocolate. If you don't smooth the air out from under the transfer, it will prevent a good bond.
