Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How many cake pops can I coat with one 125 g bag of Light Cocoa?
About 15 to 18 classic cake pops (an average of 8 g of pistoles per cake pop). For an 18 to 20 cm drip cake, plan on 80 to 100 g instead.
How can I thin out pistoles that are too thick after melting?
Add 1/2 teaspoon of neutral vegetable oil (sunflower or grapeseed) per 125 g, never water: the mixture would harden instantly.
Does Light Cocoa contain real chocolate?
It contains natural cocoa for flavor and color, but is still a coating (sugar and vegetable fat), not couverture chocolate: it doesn't need tempering.
What's the difference between Wilton Light Cocoa Candy Melts and couverture chocolate?
Candy Melts are a sugar and vegetable fat coating, with no cocoa butter: they melt more easily (no tempering required) but don't have the flavor profile of couverture chocolate.
