Candy Melts 12 Ounces-Light Cocoa

Excellent for all your chocolate making needs. Lovely shine to finished product. Easy to use and excellent value for money.

horrible very chemical taste

I initially purchased these to use with the Wilton chocolate fountain I purchased but another occasion popped up where I needed to make chocolate lollypops for the kids. These Candy Melts are easy to use! Just put them in a microwave-safe container (I used a glass measuring cup with a pouring spout), microwaved according to the package (I used either 40% or 50% power on the microwave). After a minute or so I checked and mixed to see how melted they were. After a few minutes or so the mix is smooth and creamy and easy to pour. I poured the melted chocolate into the molds and popped into the fridge. If making chocolate candies in molds I highly recommend this product. It's easy to use. It melts and pours consistently. It also does not firm up too quickly. To harden I simply popped into the fridge for a few minutes. Side Note: I also used the Wilton Blue colored Vanilla Flavored candy melts to add a splash or color to the chocolate lollypops. I simply melted a 2 pieces then used a small paint brush and painted the blue into the mold first where the mold is indented in places. Oh -- and they taste great too!

Too expensive. Much cheaper in the stores. Good melting for candy making or dipping.

If you’re going to make chocolate candies or coat your truffles in chocolate, the chocolate has to be smooth! I melted these in a double boiler, added a boatload of shortening, and the texture still wasn’t smooth. It had air bubbles, and it even had a strange, crunchy taste I can’t account for. The chocolate does not taste good by itself, and if you coat truffles with it, they won’t look smooth. Now, I have bought Wilton candy melts from Walmart in the past, and they worked well and tasted great. These must be different. I even suspect that they’re not really Wilton brand because I’ve never encountered a Wilton product that was that bad.

We got these for my son to use with the chocolate bar maker he got. The taste of the chocolates were great. The only downside is they don't go as far as you would hope. This bag made 7 very small bars.

Brand is awesome, but living in the south mine was a melted blob by the time I got home from work to pick it up. Not a big deal really since it was being used in the kids chocolate bar maker. Some people may not like this so ordering from Amazon may not be a good idea if you worry about it melting. Wasn't a big deal to me though.
