Melting Candy For Cake Pops
Decorating By ediblearts4u Updated 5 Dec 2014 , 2:10am by ConfectioneryH
AHi Everyone,
I have a delimma and that is, I cant seem to melt the candy for cakepops without burning the candy. Ive tried melting it slowly in the microwave, on the stove top with a steam bath, even with a little bit of oil and still the same problem. Am I using the wrong candy wafer?
Sincerely,

Ait will melt in the sun without the microwave or simmering water -- chocolate/candy melts simply need time not high heat --
should not use steam just mildly simmering water -- even a tiny amount of water, a droplet of steam for example will cause your product to seize --
so give it very mild heat and a lot of time
Here is a tutorial that might help. It uses the microwave method

We used Merckens Candy Coatings for this tutorial, however it is pretty standard for all candy melts.
