Nope, never did find that book.  Oh well. Until I hear a lot more about it I'm not spending the $$ to get it. I have a lot of candy books anyway, so it's not like a necessity or anything.  |

Sweettreasures, I am going to try to make chocolates with centers too. I am going to try ganache. Maybe you should try that. Let me know how it goes. Good luck. [/b] |

Hello chocolate lovers!
I crashed this thread last year and here I am again.
I wanted to see if I could get some feedback on the Chocolate Pro Melting Pot by Wilton. Anyone have it? Like it? Hate it? (I searched this site and found nothing on it.)
I have ‘made’ a double broiler for the last 4 years to dip my truffles. I learned about this gadget last year and am seriously considering purchasing it for this holiday season in hopes of it making the process a little more easier. I would LOVE to eliminate leaning over the hot stove!
Any thought would be appreciated.
Thanks so much! |

I have the Chocolate Pro Melting Pot by Wilton.It works great ,takes a little longer for the choc to get all melted but once it does and you turn it to keep warm its great! I only use it when I have a lot to dip.It doesnt seem to hold a lot at once but you can just throw in more choc as you go along.I keep it in its original container in my pantry so unless I have a lot of choc's to dip I dont bother getting it out.I either use the stove or microwave.But yes if your going to dip a lot for the Holidays you might consider buying it ! I know some people dont care for it but I like it when I use it . |

Thank you fiddlesticks!
If you don’t mind I’m gotta pick your brain a little more. How does the white chocolate melt in this pot? I was having issues with my white chocolate last year which is the reason I ended up in this thread. |

Mine does fine but I only use the Sams blocks of Ghirardelli choc these days !Im hooked on that stuff it melts easy anywhere and tastes delicious.I have melted reg choc chips and waffers/discs of milk, semi sweet choc in it also . and it was fine ! I know sometimes some white choc can be a pain to get melted even if you add wax/shortening to it ! |

I use Bakers white chocolate. I have never added anything to my chocolates and never had a problem melting them until last year. I was melting them at a high heat level. Learned to use the mid-heat level.
Thanks for your input. I just visited the Wilton.com and I can't find a single thread/post or customer review anywhere on that site. |

To be quite honest, I'm far too lazy to go back through 56 pages, but on the outside chance someone remembers -- is there any info about doing chocolate shoes? I'm ready to pour and now I have questions...  |

I have, me and Jen are buddies and we've already talked about the chocolate shoes. I was just hoping someone else had tried them. I poured them last night, they're quite easy to do actually but I let them set too long and the first coat cracked. But never fear, I'm melting them down and repouring today! |
