AHello lovely people! Now, I don't know if it's just me but I HATE candy melts. I have never been able to make perfect cake pops or even chocolates in moulds to make colourful chocolate. I have used Wilt on and PME both go too lumpy and sticky. I was advised to put in a bit of stork so I did, but they taste awful and the chocolate is STILL lumpy. I would be greatful to anyone who could help me in how to make these work for me for both covering cake pops and for using in chocolate moulds...

thanks very much! Xx

don't use them. practice tempering your chocolate and use real chocolate. it's only one step more than if you used the melts. IMO the high quality of real chocolate outweighs the ease of using the melts.

AJust use liquid oil-based colours and you can make white couverture chocolate any colour you want - you won't be constrained by pre-coloured nasty candy melts. The taste is amazing!
