I just made my first of batch of candy melt shells. They turned out ok and I realize they are pretty easy to do but I had a few questions for next time:
1-do you just do small batches
2-to marbelize and not have the candy become too mixed up when making another batch-do you wash it out and use a fresh clean bowl or just let it kind of all mix together for the last bit (sorry I am sounding confusing, just not sure how to word it...)
3-how do you get it easily into the molds. I like the idea of using an icing bag but to marbelize, how do you do mix the 2 in the same bag?
most important thing I learned....don't leave the melts in the microwave too long.....burnt chocholate and plastic make a yucky, smelly mess!!!
Thank you for your time and suggestions
ok,
1- yes, do small batches. I only do at one time what fits in the bag so it doesn't start to set up before I finish using it.
2 & 3- I'm lazy. I always do my candy melts in a disposable decorating bag, with a rubber band on the end, then just cut a small tip off the bottom to squirt into the molds. To marbelize it, just put in part green, part white, or whatever combo you're going for. I micorwave at HALF POWER for about 1.5 to 2 minutes, squish, and maybe melt 30 seconds more.
You only want to melt them until they look mostly done, then squish in the bag by hand so the chocolate isn't overdone.
For a different look, you can paint on one color of chocolate in the mold, then fill it. Good luck!
hi ..
for a different look, try this:
put a few small drops of color 1 on different areas of your mold.
drag the color around a bit with a toothpick;
add color 2; again with the toothpick, move it back & forth, up & down, in circles... this will drag color 1 through color 2 and vice versa.
so you never have to mix the colors in a bowl, no waste.
hope it works for you.
ciao
Working with several different colors at one time you can use a heating pad on the lowest setting. Just be careful!!!
