    Here is how to make your own candy melts
    1. Break the chocolate into its pieces. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave (I needed ca. 1 minute for 200 g of broken down white chocolate). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Add food color until you have the desired shade. A note about color: because white chocolate is not white, but really more yellow consider that in your color choices. It is easy to make teal and green tones that already have a hint of yellow in it. I tried purple and it turned out very dark because I needed a lot of food color to get out of the brown phase. Next time I will try to make pink ones.
    3. Fill the colored chocolate into a one way piping bag. Once all the chocolate is filled in completely, cut the tip to make a small opening.
    4. Start piping little dollops onto the parchment paper.
    5. Wait until completely dry before moving them into an air tight container or gift bag.

    • @tasnimtabassum785
      @tasnimtabassum785 4 года назад +1

      @@jenphilip6299 hey if you live in india then you can actually but compound chocolate in baking stores or in amazon.in. These are basically the same things but it is coloured. You can buy food colours and colour them. It will be a lot cheaper this way. Candy melts might be a bit costly and not easily available but if you by compound chocolate you could buy one whole kilogram of chocolate for like 300 rupees as I saw online but it might be even lower in stores. You can search up hindi videos about compound chocolate and many tell you the pricings and where to find them.

    Not sure if You can find it, as it has disappeared around me, but the Baker's brand of baking chocolates White Chocolate. This is the best melting I have found! Do not need to add any shortening. I have a couple cases of it on hand! I use it for coating and for my wonderful white chocolate butter cream frosting!

    For the Wilton candy melts I know they don't always melt super thin but if you add vegetable oil to it (once it's already melted) it's thins it out perfectly and does not change the taste! I use that trick all the time for when I make cake pops! Trust me I know because one time I melted a whole bag of the candy melts and added water because I thought it would thin it out but it just made a big thick mess!
