Hi! Sorry I'm just seeing your comment now - we used Color Mist on those finished cake pops! www.wilton.com/color-mist-food-color-spray/pg_color-mist.html?dwvar_pg__color-mist_color=Silver -Desiree
Hello can you show us how to color white candy melt and how to know if the color is pil based and which ones are the right ones to use to color candy melts thank you
I have a question why did she put the the easy thin in the blue chocolate that wasn't even clumpy????...wasn't she supposed to put the easy thin in the muddy texture one?
I haven't used candy melts yet but would love to.I was wondering if my wilton gel colours are suitable to colour the white candy melts with and do I need to add a thinning product to the melts.
+Nadia Healy Hello, we have candy colors that were created for Candy Melts, here's the link: bit.ly/1neJSub. You don't need EZ Thins all the time, just when you feel you do'nt have the right consistency for your candy melts.
Hi Oscar. To color our Candy Melts, you must use an oil-based, NOT water-based, coloring such as our Candy Colors (www.wilton.com/primary-candy-colors-set/1913-1299.html) or the Candy Melts will seize.
Hi, I have read your comments answering whether candy melts are halal and I was wondering is it cow milk that is used and also what do you mean by halal animal? Thank you
I just started making chocolates using molds. I bought the warmer after you showed how easy it makes cleanup! Then I bought the two sided insert. Yaay! I have an old Wilton chocolate rose mold. The roses have green leaves on them. How do I do that? I made an all pink rose, with pink leaves because I filled out the whole mold. The roses would look so much better with green leaves. I don’t know how to make a two color rose.
I saw in the Wilton photo what appears to be a candy melt pot separator. This is used for two different colors of melts. I would like to do this for cake pops. What is that white separator in the pot? Thank you.
This is Pam--I plan on making a huge number of chocolate spheres for a 3 tiered cake using your candy melts. My question is once the spheres are made and removed from moulds do I need to refrigerate them or can they be stored at room temperature?? I need to make weeks in advance due to the amount of work I have to get done. Many thanks!
Can you use candy melts as a top coat for making homemade klondike bars? As an example, dipping it in for making a hard shell and leaving it set to harden in the freezer overnight.
Great video with lots of detailed information. I'm new to using candy melts for decorating so this helps.I have several questions for you. I'm going to make Halloween themed cake pops so I was thinking of melting white candy melts then adding color to it to make a red color and another one for Yellow. In the video you mentioned it's better to use fat based extracts versus water based extracts so that it doesn't hardened up. Is food coloring the same thing as extracts that you are referring to in the video? If so, unfortunately mine is the water base and I don't have the time to get the Candy melts EZ thin so after adding the food coloring to the melted white candy melts then should I add just a little vegetable shortening to it so it doesn't harden? If so, how much should I add? What brand do you recommend for the fat based extracts to add color to the candy melts? Another question is how long do you wait for the melted candy melts to cool before adding it to the piping bag so the bag isn't too hot to handle and the consistency is still good for piping? Thanks ting.
I don’t have the heating pot or bags, can I just melt them in a Pyrex jug in the microwave. I’m in the UK and am not sure what vegetable shortening is? Could you just use some olive oil or vegetable oil to thin in and if so how much? Does adding oil give it a shinier texture? Thanks in advance @wilton
I'm attempting my first time using candy melts for my son's cake. I'm using a templet and will be filling it in. I'm using three different colors in one templet, do I use one color, let set, then use another or can I do them back to back without setting.
Hi can i keep it in the fridge after melting it? Im thinking of making an alphabet wording on a brownies. Or will it melt if i let it at room temperature for 1 day?
Can i use candy melts for frosting? I tried doing it today. I used one can of condensed milk with candymelts and melt them together. They became thin. :< if i use vegetable shortening will it thicken the mixture?
+Tl Simmons Hello, great question! Treatology and Color Right would not work with Candy Melts because they are water-based and you must use oil-based colors or flavors with Candy Melts. The water in Treatology and Color Right will cause the Candy Melts to seize. Here is our Candy Flavoring Set: www.wilton.com/candy-flavoring-set/1913-1029.html This handy coloring chart allows you to mix different colors of Candy Melts to get a whole new shade: www.wilton.com/cms-candy-coloring-chart.html And finally, here are some Candy Coloring Sets: www.wilton.com/primary-candy-colors-set/1913-1299.html www.wilton.com/garden-candy-color-set/1913-1298.html#start=12 I hope that helps! If you have any other questions, let me know! -Desiree
I'm not sure why my chocolate is melting after I use it to cover some caramel. You mentioned it didn't need to be tempered but when I temper my other chocolate, it is harder and doesn't melt. It stays firm. Is there a reason my wilton candy melts are not staying firm? Making sail boats for a cake. Thank you
+judith leon You can, but oil can be more difficult to control and your Candy Melts may become too thin. We recommend vegetable shortening rather than vegetable oil. Thanks! -Desiree
Can you refrigerate candy melts because my house is hot in the summer and I don't have a cool place to keep my candy melts. Is it Ok to refrigerate your candy melts before you open to keep them cool
Hi Deborah, Do not freeze or refrigerate your Candy Melts, as the moisture from these cold environments can be absorbed into your candy, causing uneven melting.
Is that double sided melting pot sold separately or would i have to buy a new melting pot. I have the one thats a full bowl.. I don't want have to buy another melting pot just to have a different color candy being melted.
I would like to make a candy snowflake for my sister's birthday, but we are going on a plane, how do I take thin candy out of the country? (How do I make it not crack?)
The tips in this video is definitely helpful! You have no idea how many times I failed at melting chocolate.
+SugarCoder Hello! Glad the video helped!
+SugarCoder I'm so glad! : ) -Desiree
Me too..
The fact that you adresses the halal question warms my heart ♥️
The tips in this tutorial were very helpful! Question? How can you tell fat base flavorings from water base flavorings does it say on the packaging?
What can you use to thin out your candy melts other then the EZ thin? Can you use vegetable oil?

)
I have a question why did she put the the easy thin in the blue chocolate that wasn't even clumpy????...wasn't she supposed to put the easy thin in the muddy texture one?
+thalia mercedez she did put it in the muddy one it's a trick of the video editing that makes it appear otherwise
thalia mercedez shes not actually baking shes showing you
If you notice there was a chaange in the video right then (editing maybe?l and she probably switched the 2 melting pots.
Exactly
To get it to the consistency you want. I've seen some videos where they want the chocolate very thin.
Once candy melt is metled can I use a plastic bottle to decorated .
I haven't used candy melts yet but would love to.I was wondering if my wilton gel colours are suitable to colour the white candy melts with and do I need to add a thinning product to the melts.

can you use candy melts as filling when you making homemade chocolates and can you adding flavouring to them when you melt them
Do you place the mold in the refrigerator or freezer.
Hi, do you have to use ez thin to melt the chocolate in the melting pot?
So I can flavor candy melts with essential oils such as lemon, peppermint and cinnamon, since they're oil based?
I so love you guys. I gotta have the melting pot. How do I get it?
Thanks, we love you too! You can find the melting pot at Michaels or Amazon!
Hi Wilton, If I use candy melts to make a drip cake - will the candy melt drips crack when the cake is cut, or does it slice?
Can you use candy melts as a top coat for making homemade klondike bars? As an example, dipping it in for making a hard shell and leaving it set to harden in the freezer overnight.
What else can I use instead of easy thin or vegetable shortening.Does vegetable oil work?
Can u mix a colored melt with the white melt to lighten the color? Ie to lighten dark green? Or pink?
If they don’t come in the color you need, do they respond well to color being added to them when melted?
How long does it take to harden after placing in a mold and do you leave in mold on counter, fridge, or freezer?
The bag I bought didn't include that
i need to add orange the orange you have is not bright enough?
So helpful 1 question , do you pipe while candy melts are still warm , if not how do you cool them down without them hardening?xx +Wilton
