Frequently Asked Questions
Difference between Chocolate Déco Melts vs Colored Déco Melts?
The chocolate is authentic couverture chocolate (cocoa + milk + sugar) that provides a rich taste when tasting. Colored Déco Melts are sugar and fat-based pistoles, vanilla-flavored, mainly decorative.
Compatible with which melting method?
Microwave safe (in 30-second intervals at medium power) and gentle bain-marie (simmering water, not boiling). Avoid direct flame.
Why does chocolate bloom on the surface?
Blooming (efflorescence) is caused by the crystallization of cocoa butter on the surface. This happens if the melting was too hot or if storage is too cold. The taste is not affected.
Can chocolate be colored with food coloring?
Yes, use only a fat-soluble food coloring. Water-soluble colorings cause the chocolate to set. To color, mix directly into the melted chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Tip?
Dark chocolate crystallizes quickly: prepare all the items to coat before melting, for immediate use.
