Really thick, got darker as it solidified
4 Stars
Really thick, got darker as it solidified
Put the candy melts in a ceramic coffee mug and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until it started to melt. It was really, really thick so I had to add a lot of paramount crystals (which is basically just crisco) a little at a time to get it to a workable consistency. It looked more gray as it melted, but then got darker as it dried. It’s not my favorite product to work with, I’d rather use almond bark and add oil based coloring (NOT gel), but it is hard to get black that way. So, this worked for what I needed it for.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting.
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2023
Not sure why so many reviews are complaining about the chocolate arriving melted, especially since it’s summer. This is also melting chocolate, so I don’t know what the problem is with the shape it arrives in if you’re just going to melt it down anyway.

Besides that, it worked good for my chocolate pretzels. It’s a little solid (even when melted properly) but it did the job just fine. One complaint is the look it has after it dries. Maybe it’s just the black, but when it dries it gives the look of old chocolate that’s been sitting somewhere for months. It looks like glitter in the picture- that’s not what it looks like in person. Also the chocolate itself is kind of way too sweet. Like I’m a person who loves desserts but after eating like two pretzels I start to feel sick— and the pretzels have salt on them. All in all, it’s just ok.

Habe die Candymelts auf dem Wasserbad geschmolzen und danach auf ein Backpapier gestrichen, sie trockneten schön fest, hatten einen matten Glanz und machten sich sehr gut als Federn für unsere Schwanentorte! Geschmacklich sehr lecker Vanillig, nur ein Stern Abzug da sehr süß, weniger Zucker hätte gereicht. Farbe wirklich schön weiß, alles wunderbar!
