Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our tips
How many cake pops can I coat with one 125 g bag of Red?
About 15 to 18 classic cake pops (8 g of pistoles per cake pop on average). For an 18 to 20 cm drip cake, allow around 80 to 100 g.
How can I thin pistoles that are too thick after melting?
Add 1/2 teaspoon of neutral vegetable oil (sunflower or grapeseed) per 125 g; never add water, as the mixture would harden instantly.
Does Red need to be tempered like chocolate?
No. Candy Melts are a ready-to-use coating: simply melt gently, with no temperature curve to follow.
What's the difference between Wilton Red Candy Melts and couverture chocolate?
Candy Melts are a sugar- and vegetable-fat-based coating, without cocoa butter: they melt more easily (no tempering required) but don't have the flavor profile of couverture chocolate.
