Does anyone know of a brand of vegan candy melts? Wilton has whey in it, as that's not what I'd use, anyway. Merckens....the one's I have aren't vegan....

there's vegan white chocolate that could work for you. You probably would need to order it online though (and I don't know how well it ships in this summer heat). Just google it and you should find online stores!

Do you need it colored?

I was going to ask one of my vegan friends if the Wilton's gel coloring was vegan or not. I was just playing around with something that isn't very often done.
