Dipping instruments for candy can range from simple dinner forks, to inexpensive plastic instruments, to pricey metal hand-crafted tools. Although you can dip truffles and other candy using your fingers or dinner forks, the specialized shape of dipping tools makes it easier to produce a smooth, professional candy. Instruments vary in size and shape depending on the candy or fruit to be dipped. A variety of tools can generally be found at craft or cake/candy supply stores.
