I cut mine into little squares to top my truffles. I flattened the tops a little to get a flatter surface for the transfers to adhere. You have to dip the truffle and apply the transfer design side down before the chocolate has a chance to set.
Once the chocolate sets, you just peel off the plastic.
Works like magic! I have also just spread melted chocolate on a sheet of wax paper, applied the transfer, let set and then brake it up to make a chocolate garnish on a dessert. But, I can also tell you from experience, chocolate transfers don't work on chocolate ganache. I made a cake once and poured ganache over the top. I thought it would be so pretty to have the design on top. Wrong. It was a muddled mess. I ended up making a circle of chocolate and used the transfer on it. Go check it out. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Here is what the paper looks like after peeling it off the truffle. I tried to cut the transfer sheets into circles with my circle puncher but it made straggly edges and didn't look as pretty as when I just cut them into squares. It wasted a little bit but made the finished product much nicer.
Cousins boxing the truffles for the birthday party favors! Look at all those curls ! Lucky girls!!! It's the portugese in them.
Boxed and ready for the party.
