How to Color Chocolate | Using the Correct Dyes

Hi there !!!

Thanks for watching my video, i hope it was helpful. I wanted to share this since a few people had mentioned issues with coloring chocolate. The right dyes are key for successful results with chocolate and sadly most are not salvageable if mixed with the water based gels.

Please check the links for some options for chocolate dyes :)

Thanks for watching :)

Gel or paste colours can colour white Chocolate by mixing with vegetable oil. I only use Belgian chocolate so don’t know if it works with Candy Melts😊

I use Americolor gel food coloring in Wilton candy melts all the time. Probably turns out fine because they’re not real chocolate. Hence the name “candy melts”.

I have a question. I prefer milk chocolate over white and I think most people do because it’s less sweet. I was just wondering if you can dye milk chocolate instead of white? Also, does it alter the taste of the white chocolate when added or is it just as sweet? Perhaps a stupid question but one I’d like to know the answer to if you can. 😊

There is absolutely NO chocolate shown in this video. Candy coatings are NOT chocolate. They are a combination of sugar and oil. There is NO cocoa butter in them which is why they don't need to be tempered. No where on the packaging does it say chocolate because if it did, the company that makes it would be sued out of business.
