Hi - I posted this in the How Do I? Forum as well.  Any advice is appreciated!!

I have to make 500 cake pops for my cousins wedding in June.  I want to order the candy melts now since they do not ship in the summer.  Does anyone have an idea of how much I should order?  Also, what brand do you prefer to use?

I like Merkens candy melts.  I don't know how much chocolate you would need for 500 pops.  But it is too early too order the candy melts.  Wait a little longer.  The candy melts have a 6 month shelf life.  After that it gets very thick when you melt them and they will fall off the sticks. 

AThank you!
