For coating the bottom, place approximately 1 cup of candy coating discs in a shallow, microwave-safe bowl and follow the instructions on the package to melt the candy coating. Generally, the bag will specify to microwave on medium power for 15-30 seconds at a time, stirring thoroughly after each interval (even if they still look solid). Please note, that candy coating can be overheated and scorched which will result in a seized mixture. When there just a few small pieces left in the bowl, remove it from the microwave and let the residual heat melt the small pieces.
