• Molding: Pour melted candy into silicone molds to create custom shapes. Allow to set completely before demolding.
• Dipping: Dip fruits, pretzels, cookies, or cake pops into the melted candy for a smooth, colorful coating.
• Drizzling: Use a piping bag or a fork to drizzle melted candy over desserts for an artistic touch.

Maintenance and Storage

Proper handling and storage are crucial to maintain the quality and consistency of your Candy Melts.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep the bag sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
• Candy Melts can be remelted if stored correctly.

Troubleshooting

Occasionally, Candy Melts may lose their ideal consistency. Here are solutions to common issues:

• Overheating: If Candy Melts become too thick or seize due to overheating, reduce the heat and stir continuously.
• Humidity/Liquid Accumulation: If liquid has accumulated due to humidity, or if the candy is too thick, add 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening per 12 oz. of candy and stir until smooth. Do not add water or other liquids, as this can cause the candy to seize.
• Melted in Bag: If the candy melts in the bag due to warmer temperatures, simply follow the package directions for melting. The quality of the product is not affected.
