candy melts

Coating chocolate alternative

Candy melts are small, wafer-shaped discs of sweetened, colored coating used for dipping, drizzling, or molding confections.

Unlike chocolate, they contain no cocoa butter, making them easier to work with—they melt smoothly and set without tempering.

Bakers use them for cake pops, pretzel rods, and candy molds: I dipped the strawberries in pink candy melts.
