20 Best Candy Melts For Cake Pops (2022 Updated)

I’m really impressed with the lemon flavor of these melts! They’re nicely lemony, without any real aftertaste. I’ve found these work really well as the candy coating on filled chocolates, and work nicely with a homemade lemon filling that is a LOT more lemony than them.

I wish Wilton made these (and Rosanna’s other flavored melts) a lot easier to find.

These are different from the other Candy melts in that they have FLAVOR- its a fun add to any treat, but definitely be warned that this flavor is INTENSE! I used them with the regular candy melts to make a yellow and white design and worked out great!.

Thanks for the watermelon candy melts I haven’t tried them yet but I am looking forward to it. They sound delicious

Finally bought one of these to make life easier when making holiday baked goods. I have no idea why I waited so long! Easy to use. Easy clean up. Just as described. Using this pot cut down my prep time greatly.

Using everyday items means having to keep re melting the chocolate over and over as it cools. With this appliance it is kept at a steady constant temperature so that re heating over and over is unnecessary.

Love the insert that lets me do two different colors at a time also! Very happy with this product from Wilton!.

Intially bought this to make some Christmas candies. Got home and opened the box, someone had returned their OLD OLD broken chocolate pot. I had to go back and purchase another. In the end I was still disappointed it took forever to melt.

Also unsure how i feel about the double sided melting pots. You can only easily dip items into it. Definitely learned a lesson and can’t add two different flavors then pour, it all just runs together.

Adhd fail on my part haha. Oh well! The customer service at my Michaels in Clidton Park,NY is superb. But this chocolate pot gets 1 star from me sorry!.

If you have a problem with consistently getting smooth, dippable chocolate everytime, this machine is for you! I really only use chocolate in my baking for holidays and special occasions, and I would normally never get a product that I would only use just a few times a year.

However, I am so glad I saw this machine demonstrated at Joann’s! It’s worth every penny, especially if you buy it with a coupon! You don’t have to keep warming the chocolate. It doesn’t scald while it’s waiting in the pot.

And what I love the most, you don’t have to work quickly! I am not a paid advertiser and there are very few products that I would back. I’m not the best when it comes to chocolate and candy melts, and used to dread having to melt them (especially chocolate, the seize is real!!) But I can honestly say that I’ll probably never go back to the microwaving or double boiling.

You can use other brands or melts, and there’s very little clean up because of the removable silicone bowl. It has made a world of difference!.

The only reason I gave this product a one is because shipping was quick. I thought I ordered the pure white candy melts but these were off white. I could not even use these. They would clump when I tried to melt them.

I quit buying my products at the bakery for that very reason. I did also try the white and chocolate candy melts from Etsy and they melted prefect. I am very disappointed in this product. This candy is not cheap to buy.

What an absolute waste.

I am a cake pop baker and love using this chocolate. It cools and hardens quickly and stays that way for farmer’s markets. It doesn’t get tacky, like some other chocolate does while it’s drying, and it tastes rich and delicious.

Unfortunately, my package was stolen upon arrival and the company sent me a new box right away!.

Merckens chocolates are still our choice for chocolate. Their flavor and consistency are of good quality. This shipment of chocolate was fresh. Only one shipment has not been fresh. Good quality and a good price.

Thank you!.

I love these melts! They make melting candy melts so much easier. I used to use vegetable oil, but these melts are easier to use. You still have to be careful not to overheat candy melts or it will seize.

If your new to candy melts use the double broiler method instead of the microwave.

Candy Melts EZ Thin was a perfect product to help achieve the best result in the consistency of my melted candy melts also by Wilton, to make my cake pops. I was so happy with how easy it was to work with this product and how my final dessert turned out.

I will be purchasing this product again!.

I had so much trouble getting my candy melts to a usable consistency, and have had to throw away more than I’d like to admit. I did some research and finally bought some EZ Thins. AMAZING! The project I got them for was a breeze and looked great.

Thank you for a great product at a reasonable price.

Made cake pops and lollipops for nephews 4th birthday, really good quality and so easy to use.tastes and looks great

Had obviously melted at some time and what wasnt in a block was fine crumbs, no good for decorating

Absolutely delish. really easy to melt. really creamy smooth tasty chocolate. i dipped fruit. marshmallows. and cake in it. covered everything perfectly. best tempered choc i’ve ever had.

Wilton bright white candy melts are always perfect for white drip cakes. Regular white chocolate looks more ivory (although tastes better), but these never fail when I need a bright white ganache. The painted colors were done with Wilton gel colors mixed in a small amount of alcohol for quick drying.

These were very difficult to melt, super chunky, even thinning out they were difficult to work with. I do not recommend and I wouldn’t purchase them again. I’d actually return them but they were clearance and probably can not be returned.

These actually taste really good. I recently used them for a Unicorn themed birthday party. I followed the instructions on the back and it goes pretty smoothly. After a while it does tend to thicken and may require another round in the microwave.

All the little girls (and their moms) loved it.

They melted easily, nice and smooth. I loved the shimmery color .

I absolutely love the strawberry melts. My household and friends love strawberry flavored everything. The possibilities are endless.

these were all melted together when i got them. horrible. its not koke its summer so they didn’t melt in transit, they had to of been packaged like that.

Great because you don’t need to add flavor or color. Drizzle this on anything dessert! Top with flaked salt for a crazy good taste.

I purchased these last year and enjoyed them, so I bought them again when they came back into stock last month. Unfortunately, Ghirardelli changed their ingredients to now include hydrogenated oils. Why is this important? Because Sam’s Club doesn’t include the ingredients list on their website, so there was no way to tell that Ghirardelli changed their formulation.

Unfortunately, this ingredient change does affect the taste of the product. Plus, hydrogenated oils aren’t the healthiest (as they are high in saturated fat) and should be avoided. I would not have purchased them had I known about the change in ingredients.

Ghirardelli’s choc chip (morsel) containing the same amt. of cocoa (60%) & do NOT contain hydrogenated oils (as this is not a trans fat, it still is artery clogging). I will not purchase again, but will buy their choc chips.

So I assume the hyd. oil helps the wafers melt quicker? That can be the only reason why any company would do this to their customers.

It is really good to cover your home made truffles. You can mold this in your favorite candy molds. Paint your favorite molds and then you can fill the inside with your favorite filling paint the bottom.

Wa La! Looks like store bought candy for the price of your time. White can be colored with food coloring, green frogs.

Easy to melt. My 10 year olds use it to coat strawberries before they dip in strawberry crumble. Microwave, dip it, let it set and cool and then enjoy! Great flavor.

I buy this stuff ALL the time when I make Oreo balls, this stuff is amazing as long as you read the directions. When I purchased this the 1st time, I did not read the directions and the candiquik turned into crumbs.

literally, from over-cooking in the microwave. The 2nd time I used the product I carefully read the directions. Once the candiquik is melted for 1 minute, it can only be re-heated in 15 second intervals.

Anything more and the candiquik will get too sticky/slimy and hard, like what happened with my very first trial. It’s good stuff, and I reccomend it to anyone that bakes :# Too bad they don’t sell this where I live :#.

have been wanting to get some of your cake decorating items as Ihave 7 children ,40 some grandchildren and the same number of great grandchildren. AT LEAST I COULD DECORATE FOR SOME. ihave a granddaughter who lives close by who does do birthday cakes,wedding cakes and anything else needed,so Im trying to learn but with my own items Icould decorate some at my own place.

No items but WILTON. I have never won anything. This would be a great start. Thanks.

Love it. Amazing. Beautiful. Good material.

Beautiful color!!!!! I LOVE these icings!!!!! Especially since they can be re-used!!!!! Everybody goes CRAZY when they see desserts made with this icing with your sprinkles on top!!!! Like with Strawberries, Cookies, Rice Krispie Treats, Anything!!!! Fabulous!!!!.

I’ve used other dipping chocolate in the past and this is by far the easiest chocolate to use! And it’s delicious!!! I will never go back to the old product. Thank you Fancy Sprinkles 🙂

I have been using this chocolate every other year since 2006. I am a high school class sponsor and am in charge of prom every other year. The chocolate fountain is always a huge hit with everyone and the only chocolate I will buy is this brand.

It melts like a dream, flows beautifully (when I use two bags in my chocolate fountain), tastes great and works perfectly the entire night. which is usually about 7 hours). I have had other sponsors ask what chocolate to buy when they have borrowed my fountain for other events and I tell them that this is the absolute best brand to get.

I have had others that tell me about this amazing deal they found and that they saved tons of money buying a different brand, only for them to come to me the night of the event when they can’t get it to work right.

Yep, you saved lots of money. it doesn’t work. As a sponsor of high school activities, I have enough worries on my plate that I don’t need to mess with and worry about chocolate for the chocolate fountain too.

I will only buy this brand. end of story. I’ll save my stress for other things!.

People pay for convenience in America. Bottled water is successful for a reason, and this chocolate satisfies that quality. The taste is middle of the road for chocolate, and the price is very high for what you are getting, but the convenience of being able to simply microwave the chocolate and pour it into the fountain validates the cost in situations where you are time pressured (which often describes the times you will be using a chocolate fountain).

Perfect item for chocolate fountains! Follow directions on the bag for a perfect result as I enjoyed much success at my party with my Sephora chocolate fountain which I also bought at Walmart. com. No, you do not need to use Sephora chocolate in your Sephora chocolate fountain; Wilton chocolate is a lot cheaper and works just as well.

This chocolate took a bit longer to melt in my microwave than I had hoped, so you might want to put it in for 3 – 4 minutes to start off, not the 45 seconds like the bag tells you to when starting to melt your chocolate.

I used a microwave-safe container, not the bag itself, so maybe that has something to do with the initial melting time, but I was very impressed with the way my party turned out and all my guests were pleased, so it really could not have gone much better, looking back on the experience.

Purchased this for the first time and I am in love! This chocolate is perfect out of the bag. I have always used chocolate chips or Candiquick and melted for covering pretzles, and making other candy, but they all fail in comparison to this chocolate.

These wafers are extremely smooth and taste amazing. I am now inspired to make plain milk chocolate candies just because these wafers stand alone on their own and do not need another star to make them worth eating.

My children who always sneak into my bags of chocolate chips have been searching for these since the tasted them. This is all I will buy from now on and I am so excited to see how they fit into my recipes.

Absolutely delicious! Trying these for the first time. Great when melting in a cup of coffee. Looking forward to trying other ways mentioned on the package. Hard to believe that thirteen wafers are one serving.

And better yet, that those thirteen wafers are only 160 calories!!! Do keep in a cool dry place as recommend. Definitely, melt in my mouth DELICIOUS!.

Just want to clear up a few misconceptions: 1. One reviewer complained that “it’s not chocolate”: The only one to blame here is Target – Ghirardelli does not even call this product “chocolate”, they call it “Melting Wafers”! The reason is that to melt (real) chocolate and make sure it’s solid and shiny again at room temperature after cooling, it needs to be tempered, which can be a very fickle and time-consuming process.

Do a Google search for “Tempering Chocolate”. The Palm Oil in these wafers does not need to be tempered, it just solidifies when cooled to room temperature without hassle. If you store your covered strawberries in the fridge, you can use real chocolate (just get a bag of choc chips) and carefully melt it in the microwave at 50% power.

It will be solid in the fridge even without tempering. 2. Another reviewer complained that the product was melted on arrival: This is no big deal, you’ll melt the wafers anyway! Just put the bag in the fridge, it will be a big clump that can then be melted (carefully!) following the instructions.

Maybe be even more careful with the power level and melt at 30-40%. Bottom line: For what it is (candy coating, NOT chocolate), this is an excellent product. If you make chocolate covered strawberries, you can use real chocolate and store them in the fridge.

For truffles and nut clusters, you’ll have to temper the chocolate to make it solid and shiny at room temperature.

The handle from th original pot broke, and needs to be replaced. The warmer works fine. However, I’m not sure this pot is going to work for me, but am not able to find a replacement that isn’t divided into two sections.

It’s made this way for dipping candies in, say, a white chocolate and chocolate. I use mine to make small batch balms and facial creams. I would rate the warmer 5 stars, but can’t find the replacement pot that fills my needs.

If you have a Wilton Candy Melt pot, you need this dual insert. I did daisies for my wedding cake and daisy lollipops for my wedding, they were so pretty, I had yellow in one side and white in the other, this is an absolute must and it cleans up really easy.

I didn’t even use the single silicone one that came with my melting pot. I can tell my old double boiler I always used, good bye now. I’m very happy I bought this, this actually came in a bundle with my melts pot.

You need this.

Having the split pot is very helpful even if you never use both sides at once. Having a smaller pot area let’s you get a deeper dipping area without using so much product. Clean up was very easy.

Very good quality, melts perfectly if you want it abit more smooth you can add 2/3 spoons of vegetable oil. Perfect for making Pop cakes.

Product was absolutely awful normally the candy melts would melt fine when I purchase from other suppliers however when I received them they where broken into pieces and did not melt like normal as the product was in poor quality.

I bought orange meltems thinking they were orange flavored. wrong. I asked the gal at the store which ones are flavored and which are standard white chocolate. My package said Orange artificial flavor.

I believe it should say Orange color Artificial vanilla flavor. But after spending 10 bucks by buying 2 different bags with different wording figured out which one was actual flavor and which was vanilla.

I would recommend but tell them to watch the language on the package.

These melt nicely, but the colors are not as true, once melted, as other brands. But my main complaint is the flavor. I’ve used several different colors of Sweetshop Melt’ems now, and I have not been happy with the flavor of any of them.

There’s just something not pleasing about the taste. I will not be purchasing any more of this brand.

This is sooo much better than Candy melts or Wilton’s. The color is better and once it’s melted it’s still very liquidy. Unlike other brands and it gets thick once it’s heated. This brand also doesn’t burn as easily.

Highly recommend.
