    I learned through trial and error that white chocolate/melting wafers are super fussy, but getting the details from you about exact temperatures and how much thinning agent to use for different treats, you are a lifesaver!!

    I wish I would have seen this video ahead of time! This is exactly what I need so I can price my treats accordingly. I know now that all compound chocolate is not created equal! I’ve always liked Ghirardelli’s melting chocolate above anything else and your video explains why. I must agree however that sweet tooth fairy has some pretty good flavors. Merkens and Ghirardelli will now ne my go to chocolate for treats and almond bark for apples!!! Have you ever mixed the different brands when you run out?

    Question, I noticed you thinned the Merkins with Coconut Oil instead of Paramount crystals. Will Paramount crystals work the same? I ask since the chocolate does not naturally contain coconut and I worry about food allergies.

    Hi Cristina! I hope you see this comment since this is on an older video!
    I was wondering if you’ve ever struggled with chocolate melts blooming or getting that white cast, or looking to have streaks of oil?
    I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong!
    Thank you in advance! ❤

    • @SugarMagicbyCristina
      @SugarMagicbyCristina  5 місяців тому +1

      Hello Skylar! Of course that's happened to all of us🤗💕 I've demonstrated white spots and chocolate bloom/streaks in another tutorial, basically it happens when your chocolate is at too high of a temperature/overheated. What treat are you seeing the bloom on and what brand of melts are you using?

    • @SkylarMedrano

    • @SugarMagicbyCristina
      @SugarMagicbyCristina  Рік тому +1

      Hello, overduing the oil (any thinning agents or oil based candy colors) can actually result in seizing your chocolate! I recommend to mix in the tablespoon amounts a little at a time to prevent adding too much at once, hope that helps! 🤗
