How to use candy melts to make candy-pops

The candy melts are “pastigliette” of chocolate that melted lend themselves to the use of icing preparations, topping of cakes, cake pops and also to create candy pops, chocolate carmels with a stick.

To make the best use of the candy melts, you need to melt them with some little care; following the short tutorial you will understand how to do it.
first place your candy in various food bags (heat resistant) dividing them by color. If you don’t have those contained in various candy pop kits, you can always use the piping bags. Once you have inserted the candy, close the top with a string.

boil some water in a saucepan with high sides; as soon as the water comes to a boil, remove it from the heat, wait a few moments and immerse the bags with the candy. With the help of a wooden ladle you can give a slight pressure on the bags to melt even the upper part of the candy that may not be in direct contact with the water. If the amount of candy in the bags is large then you will have to repeat this operation several times.

using the candypops molds, make an oblique cut to the various bags and with a light pressure you can fill the various molds with the different colors. To spread the melted candy well you can use a brush (present in the candy pops kit) or if you do not have it you can replace it with a plastic spoon.
Apply the stick by dipping it well into the mold and spread a light layer of candy into the mold again to cover the stick.
repeat this operation until the ingredients are finished.

Once the candy pops are ready, let them dry for a few minutes, then put them in the refrigerator to harden.

Some more information on candy pops:
they can be kept for about ten days in the refrigerator in hermetically sealed food containers, so that they do not get wet with the vapors and humidity that could be created in the fridge.

If you want to use the candy melts to cover a cake or to coat cakepops I suggest you follow steps 1 and 2, then turn the melted candy upside down in a small deep dish and if you see that the melted mixture seems too thick for a simple covering you can add a few tablespoons of warm milk (depending on your need for liquidity); a spoon at a time, as if you add too much milk you may have to throw everything away.
It must be typical and not cold because the temperature contrast between the two could create solid parts that you would then not be able to use.
Do not use water as the candy may create an oil effect and will not mix well.

And now everyone at work … candy pops are waiting for you and children will be happy … not only children, these candies also appeal to adults!
