Cake Pops

Step 4 Melt the Candy Coating

These candy melts from Wilton are super easy to use.

Following the instructions on the package, I put them in a bowl in the microwave, on 50% power for 1¹/₂ minutes.

Then I stirred them and zapped them again at 50% for 30 sec.

Repeat until nice and melty, then repeat once more for superior dipping quality.

I melted up some pink, yellow and white.

I didn't think this would be so difficult but I just couldn't get my choc to bee thing enough to dip...also my cake balls were prob too big. I gave up...I'll try again another time. Totally blaming myself. Still tasted yummy all falling apart though!

if you add a tablespoon of shortening to your melts it will help to keep it smooth and runny. :) this always works for me

It is very difficult! Be patient with yourself. This was a super messy, challenging project for me too.

For those having problems dipping smoothly: place your bowl of melted candy melts or chocolate over another bowl which is filled with very warm/hot water. It'll keep your melted yumminess warm and thus smooth.

Party City has them, I think Walmart does too.
