Candy Melt
Candy melts, also known as confectionery coating or melting wafers, are small, button-shaped pieces designed for easy melting and dipping. They are made from a blend of sugar, vegetable oils, and milk solids, and come in a variety of colors and flavors, most commonly vanilla or chocolate. Candy melts offer a smooth, glossy finish when melted and hardened. Unlike real chocolate, candy melts don't require tempering, making them a convenient option for decorating and candy making. Find premium quality candy melts that set smoothly for beautiful and delicious treats.

Storage Tips
Candy melts should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place to prevent blooming (white discoloration due to fat separation). An airtight container is ideal. They do not require refrigeration or freezing, as temperature fluctuations can affect their texture and melting properties. If stored properly, they can maintain their quality for several months beyond the printed expiration date. Keep away from moisture and heat sources.
