Candy Melts for Cake Pops

Perhaps the most common use for Candy Melts is to coat cake pops. The candy helps seal in the flavor and moisture of the pop and also acts as a blank canvas for decorating!

To coat cake pops, we suggest using a Candy Melting Pot, then thinning your candy with EZ Thin. This will help ensure your candy stays at the right consistency from the first pop to the last.

Dipping and Drizzling

Everything is better with a candy coating! From apple slices to potato chips, you can have fun dipping all your favorite foods into your favorite Candy Melts candy colors.

For a quick decorating technique, use our Candy Melts Drizzle Pouches, which can be melted and drizzled right from the bag, to decorate pretzels, popcorn and more.

Molding

Candy Melts can also be molded into a variety of shapes and designs using plastic and silicone candy molds. For best results, we suggest melting your candy in a disposable decorating bag, then piping it directly into the mold.

Molded candies can be used to top cakes and cupcakes, or just enjoyed on their own! You can even fill them with candies, nuts, chocolate or peanut butter.

Marbling

The marble effect looks great on everything from cake pops to donuts. All you need is one main color (often Bright White) and a few highlighting colors (Drizzle Pouches are great for this).

To make marbleized treats, simply melt all your candy, separately, according to package instructions. Drizzle your highlighting colors over the main color, then use a toothpick to lightly swirl the colors together. Dip your treats in the swirled candy for a unique effect!

Pouring

For quick and easy decorating, turn your favorite color of Candy Melts candy into a pourable ganache or mirror glaze. By combining your candy with heavy cream or condensed milk, you can quickly cover cakes, petit fours, cookies and more with a sweet and colorful topping.

Candy Bark

Candy bark is a great candy project for beginners. It's easy to customize with your favorite colors and toppings and makes a great handmade gift for parties or the holidays.

To make candy bark, simply melt your candy, pour it into a large cookie sheet tray (usually 9 x 13 in. will work for this), and top with your favorite candies, sprinkles or icing decorations. Once it sets, break it up into large pieces and serve.

Candy Brush Strokes

Use a brush or a spatula to spread a thin layer of candy on parchment paper. Once set, these candy strokes can be added to cakes or cupcakes for height and dimension, or can be used to form wings, leaves and feathers.

Candy Curls

Candy curls are a fun way to dress up cakes, cupcakes or even hot chocolate! Made by layering melted candy in a small loaf pan, then shaving with a vegetable peeler, candy curls are a fun and simple way to add color and texture to your desserts.
